The Atlanta Braves held their World Series parade on Friday and it was about as rocky as their season. The good news? Like the 2021 campaign, it ended on a high note — but not before some waves were made involving pitcher Tyler Matzek.
At one point during the parade — when the busses had finally slowed down — Matzek was greeting fans on the street. As he headed back up the road, he was met by a security guard who got a little rough.
Apparently mistaking Matzek for a fan, the security guard first tried to pull the pitcher off to the side before then attempting to arrest him. Following a brief conference with other security guards, Matzek was finally allowed to go on his way.
Matzek, who signed a two-year minor league deal back in August, finished the season with an 0-4 record, a 2.57 ERA and 77 strikeouts over 63.0 innings.
