Braves Reliever Tyler Matzek Is Now Signing Baseballs With His New Nickname of 'Nutsack'
Tyler Matzek has become a cult hero in the last two weeks for Atlanta Braves fans. He's allowed just three earned runs in his 11.2 innings pitched in this Postseason and cemented his legacy when he got out of the biggest jam of Atlanta's season in Game 6 of the NLCS, striking out the side in the seventh inning when the Dodgers had runners on second and third with nobody out.
It seemed certain that's when the previously inevitable Atlanta collapse would happen, but Matzek came in and shut that down. He went out for the 8th and got all three guys he faced in that frame, as well.
Ever since, the size of Matzek's objectively gigantic balls has been a topic of conversation all around the Southeast.
Now, we've got Matzek signing balls with "Nutsack" under his name. What an absolute legend. Even if his work as a now-elite Major League reliever or his willingness to admit he has huge nuts weren't enough for you, he has an awesome story as to how he even got to this point. He deserves every bit of the attention he's earned this Postseason.
