Few can pull off a crop top with as much effortless style as Paige Bueckers, and the Connecticut Huskies basketball star proved it once again during her recent appearance at a Minnesota Twins game.
Bueckers was invited to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for her hometown team, and she brought her fashion A-game, turning the event into a memorable moment both on and off the field.
Dressed to impress, Bueckers sported a red crop top that perfectly complemented the Twins’ red and white home jersey. She paired it with stylish cargo pants and a pair of matching red and white vintage Nike Jordans, creating an outfit that was both sporty and chic.
The Jordans, in particular, were a standout choice, adding a touch of retro flair to her ensemble. For Bueckers, this wasn’t just any outfit—it was a nod to her roots in Minnetonka, Minnesota, where she first made waves as a basketball prodigy, becoming the first high school player to grace the cover of Slam magazine and earning the title of Gatorade National Player of the Year.

With a quick flip of the ball and her trademark cool demeanor, she delivered a solid pitch that made it to home plate without a hitch. It was a moment that showcased her versatility and calm under pressure, qualities that have made her a standout athlete.

Bueckers, already a lucky charm for her team back at UConn, extended her winning ways to the baseball field, much to the delight of Twins fans.
As she continues to balance her burgeoning career as an influencer with her athletic ambitions, Bueckers remains focused on her ultimate goal—leading the UConn Huskies to another national championship.
