SAVANNAH, Ga. — The Savannah Bananas have rattled off 11 straight wins in Banana Ball, electrifying crowds across the country and showing the world why they’re the most talked-about team in baseball’s boldest new format. At the heart of this red-hot streak? Five standout players who’ve been dominating every aspect of the game.

Leading the charge at the plate is Kyle Jackson, who’s been nothing short of a nightmare for pitchers all season. With a blistering .359 batting average, Jackson consistently finds ways to get on base, spark rallies, and deliver clutch hits when the Bananas need them most. His disciplined eye and smooth swing have made him one of the most reliable bats in the lineup.

On the mound, Noah Niznick has emerged as the team’s ace, racking up a staggering 49 strikeouts. Whether he’s freezing batters with off-speed pitches or blowing fastballs past them, Niznick brings a calm confidence every time he takes the ball. He’s been a key reason the Bananas have been able to shut down opponents during their win streak.

Right behind him is Zack Phillips, who’s putting up video game numbers with a 1.00 minutes-per-inning pace. In Banana Ball, tempo is everything, and Phillips is the master of efficiency. His quick work keeps hitters off rhythm and fans on their feet, turning defense into high-octane entertainment.

But no one plays Banana Ball defense quite like Ryan Cox. With a jaw-dropping 146 trick plays to his name, Cox is redefining the shortstop position. From behind-the-back flips to no-look tags and choreographed chaos, Cox’s glove work is a highlight reel all by itself. He’s a showman with elite instincts, and fans can’t get enough of his flair.

And then there’s Reese Alexiades the Savannahs ultimate power punch. With 11 home runs on the season, Alexiades brings fireworks to every ballpark he visits. Whether it’s a towering blast deep into the night or a no-doubter off the bat, his slugging power has made him one of the most feared hitters in Banana Ball.

Together, these five stars have helped the Savannah Bananas transform a mid-season push into an outright tear, bringing high-flying fun, elite talent, and unstoppable momentum to the wild world of Banana Ball. With their chemistry clicking and the wins stacking up, the Bananas are proving they’re more than just viral they’re built to win.
