The video she posted on the platform celebrating Skenes’ call-up is now making the rounds.
She captioned the video, “Go Paul go!!!”

The Pirates posted on social media announcing that Skenes will be making his Major League debut on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
It’s an exciting time for the Pirates as they made Skenes the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft and he will be joining a rotation which also features young phenom Jared Jones.
Pittsburgh chose Skenes over Wyatt Langford and former LSU teammate Dylan Crews in last year’s MLB draft following his outstanding performance leading the Tigers to a national championship as a junior, where he boasted a remarkable 1.69 ERA and 209 strikeouts.
Standing 6-foot-6, the right-hander has continued his dominance in the minor leagues.
In seven starts for Pittsburgh’s Triple-A affiliate, Skenes has only given up four runs (three earned) while striking out an impressive 45 batters in 27.1 innings.
He has issued just eight walks and surrendered a mere 17 hits, showcasing a blazing fastball that consistently hits 100 mph.
With four consecutive scoreless outings, Skenes has proven his worth in Triple-A.
Apart from delaying the start of his service clock, the Pirates had little reason to keep him in the minors any longer.
