During a game on June 14, 2026, Mike Yastrzemski of the Braves made a remarkable throw from the outfield that unexpectedly deflected off a pole supporting netting.

The situation arose as Yastrzemski attempted to return the ball to the infield without finding a cutoff man, leading to an unusual and potentially rule-questioning scenario.
