Ryan Cox is a special part of BananaLand. Nicknamed the Glove Magician and playing shortstop for the Savannah Bananas, he never fails to amaze and delight with his trick plays!

Over the past few years, he has consistently led the league in Trick Plays, paving the way for his teammates and rivals to improve their talents just to keep up! In the 2024 World Tour, he set a record with 207 trick plays and won the "Trick Play Champion" Award. This year appears to be no different as he is already at a remarkable 175 Trick Plays with two months left in the season.
