Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Garrett Stubbs is a Philadelphia Phillies catcher/utility player who has gained recognition for his mental coaching abilities and positive influence on teammates. He played a key role in helping Brandon Marsh overcome an early-season slump during Marsh's rehab assignment at Lehigh Valley, focusing on the mental aspects of performance rather than mechanical adjustments. Marsh subsequently returned to the majors and posted a .311 batting average, the highest in the National League. Stubbs has also been positioned to help Alec Bohm break out of his own slump. Recently, Stubbs appeared as a position player pitcher in the ninth inning of a blowout loss to the A's and made his first career appearance at third base, demonstrating versatility. He was recalled to the active roster in 2026.
