On September 13, 2026, the Atlanta Braves faced the Philadelphia Phillies in a National League East matchup. With the Braves leading by seven runs, the Phillies brought in Garrett Stubbs to pitch. Stubbs attempted to confuse Matt Olson by throwing slow pitches, reaching speeds of 36 and 40 mph, before surprising him with an 83 mph fastball. Olson, after a near miss on a deep hit off the fastball, responded with a humorous gesture. Michael Harris II later homered off Stubbs. The game concluded with Atlanta winning 12-2.
