"That was cool."
Further commenting on her partner's rookie season, she termed it a 'fairy tale'.
“Watching Paul’s rookie season was like, honestly, watching a unicorn. It was like a fairy tale. The thing that impressed me most was how quickly he went through the minor leagues and went to the big leagues and dominated. It was so admirable,” Dunne said.
“I definitely think the thing that makes Paul elite is his mindset, and I try to take that into my gymnastics and I try to get advice from him, and I just think he’s so disciplined and I really admire that. I love him so much and I’m so proud of him," she added.
As for Paul Skenes, he can't wait for next year and lead his Pirates to the postseason after missing out this year.
