Garrett Stubbs, the Phillies catcher, barely leaves a place to praise his father, T. Patrick Stubbs, who inspired him and would ensure his journey to the MLB.
A marketing executive by profession, Terence Pat Stubbs never had his professional dive in sports. But it didn’t keep him off the field when his son, Garret & his brother, C.J., wanted a coach & a partner.
He and his wife, Marti Gellens Stubbs, now are proud parents of two. Both their sons are in the professional baseball track: Garret in the MLB and C.J. in the minor league.
T. Patrick’s eldest son, Garrett Patrick Stubbs (b. May 26, 1993), is an American baseball player who plays for the MLB team Philadelphia Phillies (2022- now).
There, he plays alongside Bryce Harper, José Alvarado, Johan Rojas, and Cristopher Sánchez, among others.
In the 2022 MLB season, he made a batting average of 0.264 at 106 bats, with 19 runs, 5 home runs, and 16 RBIs.
Earlier, Stubbs played for the Houston Astros (2019- 21). They picked him in the 8th round of the 2015 MLB draft and signed him through the minor league system before his major league debut on May 28, 2019.
