Katia Lindor Reacts as Mets’ Brett Baty Begins New Chapter of Life With Longtime GF Anna

It wasn’t a swing in Atlanta or a highlight on ESPN that defined Brett Baty’s All-Star break; it was a moment on a quiet Cape May beach, where the Mets third baseman dropped to one knee and asked Anna Sprys to spend forever with him. No spotlight. No stadium noise. Just the waves, a ring, and a love story three years in the making.

Wearing a flowing, striped sundress that matched the calm of the overcast sky, Anna stood barefoot in the sand as Baty, dressed in a crisp white shirt and light trousers, held out the ring. The pair shared the emotional proposal in a collaborative Instagram post on Wednesday evening, captioned, “Forever with my best friend,” with a carousel of stunning beachside photos shot by photographer Jordan Simone. And while the baseball world was busy tracking trade rumors and midseason stats, Baty’s Mets family lit up the comment section in celebration, including Katia Lindor, wife of All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor.

“Congrats!!! So happy for you guys 🤍,” Katia remarked while adding a soft white heart that seemed just right for the romantic moment. It was a sincere gesture that conveyed she belonged to their family circle.

This event marked not just a public breakthrough, but a subtle acknowledgement of a relationship that has been developing steadily out of the spotlight. Sprys and Baty have chosen to maintain a level of privacy in their relationship over the years and have only shared glimpses of their life on platforms. But those who’ve followed their journey knew something deeper was brewing.

Sprys, a former volleyball captain from Binghamton University, holds both a bachelor’s in accounting and an MBA in marketing. She now works as a marketing coordinator, and yes, she’s also been Baty’s steady support system through the ups and downs of pro ball. The fact that Baty spent much of his minor league time in Binghamton only adds to their shared history.

Baty, still just 25, is having a solid campaign with the Mets this season, hitting .226 with nine home runs through 75 games, already tying his career high. But his biggest win this month didn’t come with a bat in hand.

Now, as he returns to the diamond, he’ll be doing so with a new ring in mind and a future wife cheering from the stands. If you ask Katia Lindor, it’s the beginning of something beautiful.

Mets Fans Say “Yes!” Right Along With Them

When the proposal post was published online for Mets fans to see it for the first time, on media platforms like Instagram and X, Mets fans didn’t just double-tap; they showed up with meaningful comments filled with inside jokes and emojis to express their excitement and support for the players they are passionate about following every game. Seeing one of their win off the field felt just as satisfying. Baty’s engagement wasn’t just celebrated in Cape May; it echoed to Queens, with fans embracing the moment like it was a walk-off homer.

“WOOHOOO000 OMG I’M SO EXCITED ❤❤ congratulations to you both!!” one fan screamed into the comment section, all caps, hearts, and unfiltered joy. It wasn’t just a response; it was a celebration. The kind of raw energy you only see when fans feel like they’re part of the story. And in many ways, they are. As the congratulations rolled in, so did emojis, exclamation points, and pure happiness. Fans who’ve watched Baty grow on the field are now cheering for him in the biggest inning of his personal life. Proving once again: when you’re a Met, your wins, on or off the field, belong to the whole fanbase.

“AAHHHHH!!! Screaming from the rooftops of joy & excitement!!” another fan wrote, practically leaping off the screen with emotion. You could almost feel the excitement over the phone. Not the cheer for a late game comeback, but a deeper sense of joy and personal connection. A sense of warmth and friendship emanated from each reaction rather than mere followership. What made this occasion truly memorable was the responses pouring in like virtual confetti. Filled with hearts and sparkles and messages of “you deserve this ” coming from every corner of the Mets Nation community.

One comment gently pulled at the heartstrings: “My fav people, literally so happy to see the progression of you two 💗.” It wasn’t loud or flashy, but it spoke volumes. This wasn’t just about the proposal; it was about the journey. For fans who’ve quietly watched the couple grow together over the past few years, the moment felt earned and emotional. The word progression said it all: a nod to the shared milestones, quiet loyalty, and how naturally their bond has matured. It was less about fanfare and more about witnessing something real take shape, and fans were all in for it.

“I’m in TEARS. We love you both so dang much!!! CHEERS FRIENDS 🤍🥂” another fan gushed, and honestly, you could almost hear the emotion behind every word. This wasn’t just surface-level excitement; it was real, overflowing affection wrapped in all caps and celebratory emojis. It was clear that this individual wasn’t just casually browsing through content; they seemed to be engaged in the experience. Almost as though they were a part of this journey itself. Offering a toast from afar like a dear friend sitting in the front row at an event venue. The genuine display of warmth and joy, in their words, truly brought life to the comment section. Transformed a simple Instagram post into something profound and meaningful. A shared moment of celebration infused with tenderness and affection that transcended the digital confines of the screen.

The comments seemed like letters, warmhearted and relatable, with a touch. “Congrats, Brett and Anna. A baseball player and a volleyball player… A must say a good choice,” one fan shared, before revealing that he and his wife share the same dynamic. Their daughter plays setter in volleyball, and their son pitches, turning their home into a mini version of Baty and Sprys’ story. “So you guys are good to go,” he said, like a coach passing along his blessing. It wasn’t just a text; it was a compliment from one sports family to another, united by love, competition, and shared courts and fields.

As Baty returns to the field in the end, he does it with a new role: Anna Sprys’ fiancé. He is greeted by fans who cheer as loudly for his heart as they do for his performance with the bat.
