Teammates gathered nearby as the left-field scoreboard displayed a message to the couple. Dickinson accepted the proposal, and fans cheered inside the ballpark.
Hedges had kept the engagement ring since early spring training. He said he decided to pop the question only a few weeks ago.

She also posts wellness, Pilates and fashion content as an emerging sports-style influencer. The newly engaged couple planned a quiet dinner celebration after the public proposal.
