Party Animals Roster 2026: Players, Numbers and Pictures

The 2026 Party Animals roster features position players, eleven officially listed pitchers, utility and designated-running roles, plus a three-person coaching group. The current official roster checked on July 29, 2026 lists Mike Vavasis as head coach, Andy Cosgrove and Bronson Balholm as catchers, and memorable numbers including X, 407, 777 and 999. This guide groups the complete list by baseball role so it is easier to use than a long sequence of profile cards. Roster membership does not guarantee that a player will appear at every tour stop, so pair this reference with the Party Animals schedule and current game-day information.

The official 2026 player-card pack provides a useful second list of names, but the roster page controls the roles and numbers in this guide. Product inclusions can cover a broad team cast and should not be used as a substitute for an active lineup. If the official team page changes after July 29, the newer page takes priority.

Party Animals position players

Infield and catching depth

Andy Cosgrove and Bronson Balholm are the two players labeled as catchers. Ashton Lansdell and Dustin Baber both carry second-base labels, Chase Achuff is listed at shortstop, Bryson Bloomer at third base and Jason Swan at first base. Michael Ballard?s broader IF label means infielder rather than one specified base.

Those entries describe roster roles, not a promised defensive alignment. Two players sharing the same position label does not tell readers which one will start or whether both will appear. Banana Ball lineups can be shaped by the matchup, the tour stop and entertainment planning. It is safest to use ?listed at second base? or ?listed as a catcher? until a date-specific lineup provides more detail.

The position group also shows the value of a table. On the official profile page, the cards appear one after another, so a fan searching for all catchers or infielders has to scan the entire sequence. Grouping the same official data reveals the depth without adding unsupported rankings.

The profiles also show batting and throwing information where available. R/R means the player bats and throws right-handed; L/R means a left-handed batter who throws right-handed; S/R identifies a switch hitter who throws right-handed. That information describes handedness, not a lineup slot. For example, the official page lists Reece Hampton as S/R, but it does not say that he will occupy a particular place in the batting order at the next event.

Outfield, utility and designated-running roles

Jake Skole, Reece Hampton, Tanner Thomas and TJ Reeves are listed as outfielders. John-Howard Bobo and Noah Fisher are utility players, a label that signals flexibility across roles rather than one permanent position. Mark Smith is the designated runner. That specialty is especially relevant in a fast, action-driven format where speed can be a distinct roster function.

Utility and running labels should not be translated into conventional statistics that the team has not published. A UTL player is not automatically a substitute, and a DR is not necessarily used in every game. These labels help fans understand the intended skill category; actual deployment is visible in the game itself.

Party Animals pitchers in 2026

The official roster lists Brady Kais and Peter Holden as left-handed pitchers. Bret Helton, Dalton Ponce, Drew Gillespie, Dylan Porter, Garett Delano, Jake Lialios, Nate Tellier, Riyan Rodriguez and Sean Fluke are labeled right-handed pitchers. That creates a clearly identified group of eleven pitchers on the current page.

The left/right information is helpful, but it is not a depth chart. The official page does not publish a traditional five-man rotation, bullpen hierarchy or probability that a pitcher will work in a specific city. A name appearing first in this article reflects table organization, not selection priority. Fans should wait for current event information before assigning a probable pitcher.

Garett Delano attracts immediate attention because his displayed number is 777. That makes him easy to identify, but the number should not overshadow his official baseball role: the page lists him as an RHP. Similarly, Peter Holden?s profile supplies a left-handed pitching label; a portrait or card image confirms identity, not availability.

For current performance, use actual game information. Banana Ball results are decided by points, while runs and other measures are different statistics. The Banana Ball scores tool is the appropriate place to follow completed games; this roster guide should not be used to infer results or pitcher records.

Coaches and roster staff

Mike Vavasis is displayed as number 7 and head coach. Thomas Simoneaux is number 0 and listed as a coach, while Anthony Coromato is number 57 and also listed as a coach. Separating those three from the player table?s role groups prevents a common counting error.

The official player-card product includes coaching names alongside players, reinforcing the idea that a Banana Ball ?team? can be presented as a wider cast. That is useful for fans collecting or recognizing personalities, but it does not mean a coach should be included in a count of pitchers or position players.

Coaching visibility also fits the live format. Coaches can be part of the entertainment presentation as well as baseball decision-making. Still, this guide avoids assigning duties that the current roster does not state. ?Coach? and ?head coach? are the supported labels; strategy specialties or on-field responsibilities should come from a current official explanation.

Exact spelling matters when fans search pictures or prepare autograph lists. John-Howard Bobo uses a hyphenated first name, Garett Delano is spelled with one ?r? in the first name on the roster, and Riyan Rodriguez uses the ?Riyan? spelling. Copying those names from an unofficial clip caption can produce the wrong person or no useful result. The current official profile should be the spelling reference.

The same care applies to numbers. A search for ?Party Animals 407? points toward Michael Ballard on the current page, while ?Party Animals 40? points toward Mark Smith. Dropping a digit changes the player. Record the season beside an unusual number because older content may show a different roster or assignment.

Players and numbers fans often notice

• Ashton Lansdell, #1: listed at second base.
• TJ Reeves, #3: listed as an outfielder.
• Tanner Thomas, #4: listed as an outfielder.
• Garett Delano, #777: listed as a right-handed pitcher.
• John-Howard Bobo, #999: listed as a utility player.
• Michael Ballard, #407: listed as an infielder.
• Jake Skole, #X: listed as an outfielder.

The numbers X, 407, 777 and 999 are displayed by the official roster. The page does not explain why every player selected that number, so this article does not attach a story to them. Fans frequently search unusual jersey values, and the accurate answer is sometimes simply the current number and role.

It is also important not to confuse jersey recognition with a ranking. A memorable number can make a player easier to spot in a photo or video, but it does not measure performance. Use the BBCL standings for the current team picture and game data for performance context.

Why the roster is not the game-day lineup

The official roster is broader than a date-specific lineup. It tells you who is currently presented as part of the Party Animals and what role each profile carries. It does not promise that every listed player will travel, dress, start, pitch or perform in every city.

The official schedule answers a different set of questions: opponent, venue, date and available viewing information. Even that event entry may not list all participants. Fans hoping to see one person should confirm that the Party Animals are in the matchup, then watch for current team posts or a game-day broadcast. Late adjustments can still happen.

Do not assume the Savannah Bananas are the opponent. The six-team 2026 league gives the Party Animals dates against several clubs. Start with Banana Ball games today or the Party Animals team page so the player search is attached to the correct game.

This distinction also protects readers from stale search results. A roster article or social clip from a prior season may show a real former lineup, but it does not prove current membership. Season labels and verification dates are essential.

How to verify the latest Party Animals roster

1. Open the official team roster. Use it for current numbers, role labels, pictures and spelling.
2. Confirm your matchup. The team schedule identifies the opponent and city.
3. Check close to game time. Official team channels and the announced broadcast can show the active traveling group.
4. Use dynamic tools for dynamic facts. Follow scores for results and watch information for channels rather than expecting a roster article to update minute by minute.

When recording or sharing roster information, include the date. ?Party Animals roster checked July 29, 2026? is more responsible than presenting the list as permanent. If an official profile later disappears, changes role or changes number, update the current guide without rewriting the historical record of earlier games.
