Dec. 3—One month after homering to help the Atlanta Braves win their first World Series championship in 26 years, Dansby Swanson has another reason to celebrate.

Swanson and Pugh announced their engagement via pictures on their respective Instagram accounts Thursday, showing Swanson getting down on one knee and presenting Pugh with a diamond ring.
