The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Swanson in the first round of the 2015 MLB draft. Due to an injury, he missed the majority of his first season.
Swanson made his MLB debut in August 2016 for the Atlanta Braves. He was the lone rookie from Atlanta selected for the Braves' 2017 Opening Day roster. However, due to his offensive and defensive struggles, he was demoted to Triple-A in July.
Dansby Swanson's 2018 campaign was delayed by wrist and hand ailments, and his bruised heel forced him to miss a month of the 2019 campaign.
Swanson had a healthy 2020, with a career-high batting average of .274 and he ranked third in the MLB with 49 runs scored. He then brought the Braves their first World Series victory since 1995 in 2021.
Pugh is an American soccer player for the Chicago Red Stars of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).
She holds the record for the most assists in USWNT history before the age of 20. She became the youngest player in USWNT history to reach 10 career assists. Pugh was the youngest player in USWNT history to be chosen and participate in an Olympic qualifying tournament in January 2016 at the age of 17.
