Olivia Dunne posted a video on her Instagram page on Thursday as the LSU star attempted to play a sport that is played by her boyfriend, MLB rookie star Paul Skenes.
But first, the clip began with Dunne wearing a figure-hugging outfit on the balance beam while the caption read, “Stay on the beam.”
She completed the task and was seen perfecting two cartwheels.
The video then showed Dunne in the batting cage along with the caption, “Okay now hit the ball.”

However, that instruction wasn’t easy for the Sports Illustrated model.
Dunne couldn’t make contact with her bat while balls were flipped her way.
She had four attempts to hit the ball and missed each time.
Dunne also spun around and laughed after three of her swings and misses.
Fans were in hysterics over the gymnast’s abilities, or lack thereof, in baseball.
“What are you looking at,” one asked.
“Keep doing gymnastics i guess or become a pitcher,” another commented.
“Crazy how baseball makes athletes look so unathletic,” a third wrote.
It’s possible Dunne now understands what batters go through and much more when facing her love partner Skenes.

The 2023 No. 1 overall pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates has been stellar in the big leagues this season.
Skenes has a 2.43 ERA in 33.1 innings while throwing 46 strikeouts along with just six walks.
The 22-year-old flew through the minor leagues and was called up to the MLB last month.
DUNNE AND SKENES’ SUMMER OF LOVE
Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes managed to keep their relationship a secret before finally going public last summer.
The pair met at LSU, but it’s not clear when they started dating.
Rumors of a romance began when Dunne watched LSU win the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska last summer.
And Dunne then posted selfies from Fort Myers in Florida, where Skenes was playing.
He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates and began his pro career by playing in minor leagues in the Sunshine State.
The final clue came when Dunne posed in a Pirates cap before the pair finally went public.
Dunne has appeared at numerous Pirates games to support Skenes while in the stands.
The LSU products have been marketing stars, with Dunne most recently filming a commercial alongside Kansas City Chiefs‘ Travis Kelce.
Dunne is an ambassador for the energy drink brand Accelerator while Kelce has an investment for the company.
She has a huge following on social media, piling up 8 million followers on TikTok and 5 million followers.
Dunne’s coming off an NCAA gymnastics championship win with the Tigers in April.
The social media influencer graduated from LSU last month.
It’s unclear if Dunne will return for a fifth year.
