Olivia “Livvy” Dunne was left in awe as Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz hit bombs during the Home Run Derby on Monday night in Atlanta, posting a video to her Instagram story as she watched the impressive display.
The social media sensation and former LSU gymnast was on hand, along with her boyfriend, Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes, for the All-Star Game festivities.
In the video she posted, Dunne wrote “holy cr@p” to accompany the video and could also be heard saying “oh my god” as she recorded one of Cruz’s 21 home runs and then turned the camera back to her to show her shocked expression.

The baseball power couple arrived in Atlanta on Sunday night after flying down on a private jet and, according to TMZ, Cruz had been on the flight with them.
Cruz hit 21 homers in the first round to advance to the semifinals and he crushed a 513-foot home run to tie Yankees slugger Aaron Judge for the longest homer in derby history – outside of Coors Field – since Statcast started tracking them in 2016.
The Pirates player averaged 447 feet on his homers during the first round and his top exit velocity sat at 118 mph.

Dunne wasn’t the only one to be stunned by Cruz’ home runs.
Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. was spotted by the ESPN cameras expressing shock by putting his hands on his head.
Rays Junior Caminero tied Cruz for the most home runs in the first round of the Home Run Derby.
