Girl Crush: Kylie Bunbury
The sexy star of the new Fox drama Pitch
The leading candidate for the most female-empowering show of the new fall TV season is Fox’s Pitch, a drama about the first woman to become a pitcher in Major League Baseball. The actress who landed the lead role is 27-year-old Kylie Bunbury, a relative newcomer who’s threw herself into the part.”I had never played baseball before, so I was training about three or four days a week,” said Bunbury. “I definitely had to live like a pro athlete [and] the biggest thing is the workout. Three to four days a week I was boxing, three or four days a week I was pitching… Real deal over here.” Bunbury is also well aware of the role-model responsibilities she’s taking on by playing such a glass-ceiling smashing role. “I take it seriously,” she’s said. “[Women are] very capable of a lot of things and I think we are showing that in this show.”
