PLAYER RANKINGS
OFFICIAL BLITZBALL
AS OF NOVEMBER 2024
The Official Player Rankings are based on a Blitzball Committee vote. Only two-way players are considered for the overall rankings since it is based on a 1v1 format. Rankings will be altered with tournament performances, league statistics, and 1v1 matchups that will be featured on the Blitzball YouTube channel.
1. Trent Severino
Bio: Through his creative pitch mix and his power at the plate, Trent Severino has proved himself as the number one player in all of Blitzball. Over the years he has excelled with KCBL, claimed a 2023 Como Blitzball Championship with the Riptides, and has created his own Blitzball franchise "Clickbait Club" that has impressed in tournaments. Having all the momentum going into the 2025 Blitzball World Series, he is looking to have a massive showing.

2. Adam Knudsen
Bio: The flame-throwing lefty burst onto the Blitzball scene at the 2020 Blitzball World Series and has been a force in the Blitzball community since then. Knudsen is regarded as the best pitcher in Blitzball and has elite command and tons of break on his pitches. His 2-Seam and Screwball buckle right-handed hitters and his sidearm knuckle drop began a new wave of breaking pitches. Knudsen has been known as a contact hitter with the bat, but when he finally gets the ball in the air, he hits home runs in bunches. Adam just recently dropped the Championship Series to Trent Severino, hence why he is now ranked as the #2 player in Blitzball. Accolades/Stats: (20’-22’) 3x Swisher Blitzball WS Champion 2021 Little Cubs Field Champion (MVP) (0.00 ERA | 0.400/5HR/13RBI) 2022 Columns’ Classic Champion 2022 Como Blitzball Cy Young (0.42 ERA) 2022 Como Blitzball WS Champion (MVP)
3. Sammy Reazer
Bio: Reazer has grown into an absolute force at the plate in the last three years. He broke out in 2021 for the Badgers, which is widely regarded as one of the best Como Blitzball teams ever assembled. Since then, Sammy has launched his franchise in the Mustangs, quickly becoming a fan favorite among Como Blitzball fans. His success has come off great bat-to-ball abilities and bulldog mentality on the mound. Each year, Reazer continues to lower his strikeout rate and increase his Barrel %, evident in his MVP campaign in Como’s 2022 season and his incredible Blitzball Battle 3 campaign. Accolades/Stats: 2021 Como Blitzball WS Champion 2022 Como Blitzball MVP 2023 Blitzball World Series Champion 2023 Blitzball Battle 3 Champion 2023 Blitzball Battle 3 MVP (0.765 BA)
4. Jack Doyle
Bio: We Got Ice’s Jack Doyle has been the pride of the Jomboy Media Warehouse since its first video was released in February of 2022. The pitching specialist features a wide range of arm angles and pitches to fool batters, which has led Doyle to two consecutive Blitzball Battle Cy Young awards. While Jack’s pitching is undoubtedly his calling card, his batting has come alive in recent months. Doyle constantly varies pitching techniques to mess with the hitter’s eye and timing, techniques which he has called “goofs and gaffs.” While Doyle does have a Warehouse Banner with his name on it, Jack (and We Got Ice) is still looking for the elusive Blitzball Battle Banner. Accolades/Stats: 2022 Blitzball Battle 1 Cy Young 2022 Blitzball Battle 2 Cy Young 2022 1 Inning Roulette Champion
5. Joey Dimeo
Bio: Dimeo has built his resume from the ground up since joining Como’s Steamrollers in 2020. His consistent unorthodox style of pitching continues to pay off as he finished as the BWS Cy Young in 2023, and BWS Cy Young Runner up in 2024. Joey is the only player to win both of the last two Blitzball World Series after his switch over to KC. Accolades/Stats: 2024 BWS Champion 2023 BWS Champion 2022 LCF Champion
6. Trevor Plouffe
Bio: If Plouffe’s MLB career wasn’t already an indication of success, Coach Trev proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has elite bat control in Blitzball. Thanks to the dual threat provided by Plouffe, Forgotten Rotten quickly became the Warehouse’s biggest nightmare, and the former MLB star balled out on Blitzball’s biggest stage. His slider proved near impossible to hit, and his poise at the plate rattled several opposing pitchers. For everyone that wants to say Plouffe is washed, he once again put up an extremely impressive performance in BB4. Lead the tournament in average with .722 and just a 2.00 ERA. Forgotten Rotten has already hung two banners in the warehouse, and with Trevor Plouffe at the helm, more are likely in the future. Accolades/Stats: 2022 Blitzball Battle 1 Champion 2022 Blitzball Battle 2 Champion 2022 Blitzball Battle 2 MVP
7. Jack Bresnahan
Bio: When talking about Blitzball team leaders, Jack’s name frequently comes to mind, as he has built Gainesville Blitzball League from the ground up and has led the team in some big matches. He is known for his outstanding pitching but also holds the clutch gene, keeping Gainesville in tight games. His riser starts at a low release point, adding to its deception, and his slider is top tier. What makes his pitching so solid is his command of the strike zone. He always seems to hit his spots when he needs to for some key outs. Accolades/Stats: 2024 Blitzball World Series Runner Up 2022 Gainesville 1v1 Tournament Champion 2022 Los Angeles 3v3 Tournament Finalist
8. Mike Diehl
Bio: Diehl has practically guaranteed himself a spot in a hypothetical Blitzball Hall of Fame with a long and successful career for the Bombers Blitzball League. Diehl was known for his incredible pitching and clutch bat, leading him to multiple Bombers Blitzball World Series Championships. His most recent success came in the 2021 Blitzball World Series championship game, where he hit a Monster Home Run and then hit a walk-off double to give Bombers Blitzball their second Blitzball World Series title. Accolades/Stats: (2017,2018,2020) 3x Bombers Blitzball Champion 2019 Blitzball World Series Champion 2022 Blitzball World Series Champion (MVP)
9. Patrick Jacob
After taking home the 2024 Blitzball World Series MVP honors, Gainesville Blitzballs’ Leader of the Tigers, Patrick Jacob, has skyrocketed up the rankings. He is someone a hitter does not want to see when they walk up to the plate. His pitch mix of a Curveball, Knuckle Drop, Slider, and Variations of fastballs, leave hitters completely guessing. Jacob isn’t afraid to swing the bat either, with a very quick bat to ball swing, he finds a way to produce numbers at the plate. His hitting is highlighted by a walk-off home run to send Gainesville to the BWS Championship Game. Recently, Patrick has solidified his #9 spot after defeating Tyler Davis. Accolades/Stats: 2024 BWS MVP 2024 BWS Runner Up
10. Henry Justice
Bio: One of the youngest phenoms in the rankings, Evan has showcased some of the greatest pitching highlights in recent years. His arsenal is unmatched, and he constantly pushes the boundaries of what a Blitzball is capable of. In his first major tournament, Evan led his team to the quarterfinals, thanks to his stellar pitching against some of the nation’s best offenses. In 2023. His 2024 Blitzball World Series has bolstered him up to the Top 10. Accolades/Stats: 2024 BWS 3rd Cy Young 2022 Louisville Classic Championship Appearance 2023 Blitzball World Series Quarterfinalist
11. Caden Sartain
Bio: If you want a big hit, you call Caden Sartain. The tall lefty hitter has found himself in numerous big situations and has seemingly delivered in all of them over the years. His pitching has steadily improved over the years, but it is nothing compared to his batting ability. His aggressive plan at the plate results in little strikes getting by Caden, which has resulted in moments like the walk-off Homerun in the 2022 LCF semifinals match, the go-ahead home run in the 2023 Blitzball World Series, and the Walkoff Single in Blitzball Battle 3. Accolades/Stats: (16’,18’,19’) 3x Como Blitzball World Series Champion 2023 Blitzball World Series Champion 2023 Blitzball Battle 3 Champion
12. Nicky Cass
Bio: This is no act; Nicky Cass can ball. Even the neighbors (Diane especially) agree Nicky has developed into one of the best pitchers in the warehouse. His attack mentality pairs well with his sinker/slider combination. In a tournament dominated by hitting, Blitzball Battle 3 revealed how dominant Nicky can be on the mound to complement his fundamentally sound hitting approach. His swing is scary quick, and his pitching development helped catapult him in the rankings. Nicky is playing ball that Pasquale would be proud of, and the Love Yas franchise is heavily benefitting from it. Accolades/Stats: 2022 Blitzball Battle 2 Championship Appearance 2022 Blitzball Battle 2 Fan Favorite 2023 Blitzball Battle 3 Cy Young
13. Lorenzo Lew
Bio: Lew is the definition of a 5-tool player. He excels with the bat, on the mound, with quick fielding hands, plate discipline, and game IQ. All this leads to Lorenzo getting slept on, but facing him one on one is no easy task. The comeback kids from morada are united under the stability of Lorenzo and his leadership has brought them success on Blitzball’s biggest stage. As the young baller continues to gain experience under his belt, he could quickly ascend this list and Morada Blitzball themselves would greatly benefit from it. Accolades/Stats: 2022 Blitzball World Series Semifinalist 2023 Blitzball World Series Quarterfinalist
14. Tyler Davis
Bio: Davis was a true rookie in the Como 2022 class, having not played Blitzball before April. A few weeks after being signed by the Como Mustangs, he pitched a stellar tournament and shined in the 2022 Sunflower Series, capturing his first tournament title in his short career. Since then, Tyler Davis has shown glimpses of having the ability to be able to compete for #1 in all of Blitzball. But his inconsistency and recent loss against #9 Patrick Jacob has him at #14. Accolades/Stats: 2022 Como Blitzball Rookie of the Year 2022 Sunflower Series Champion 2023 Blitzball World Series Semi-Finalist
15. Kollin Stone
The Blitzball Battle 4 Champion has exploded onto the Blitzball scene. After securing the BB4 MVP, Cy Young, and Championship, Kollin decided to take his talents into the Como Blitzball League on the Ducks. Right away, everyone knew he could compete with the best. Featuring a simple two-pitch repertoire with the submarine screwball and submarine rising slider, he always keeps hitters guessing which way the ball is going to move. Accolades/Stats: BB4 Champion BB4 MVP BB4 Cy Young
16. Cory Sugg
Bio: Sugg is an incredibly balanced player who exercises all game tools evenly. It is hard to say if he is a better hitter than a pitcher, as he has succeeded on both sides of the ball. One word to describe his game would be “explosive.” His average exit velo is jaw-dropping, and his breaking stuff seems to explode out of the hand. He has all the talent in the world to top this list, but after a poor 2024 BWS performance, Cory has slid to the 16th spot. Accolades/Stats: (20’-21’) 2x Morada Blitzball MVP 2022 Blitzball World Series Semifinalist 2023 Blitzball World Series Quarterfinalist
17. Matt Foster
Bio: Starting a Blitzball Career off with a Homerun in 5 straight tournament games is sure to turn some eyes, and at the Little Cubs Field Tournament in 2021, Matt Foster did just that. Since then, he has continued to prove himself on both sides of the ball, establishing on the KCBL squad. His unique “Shaker” highlights his pitching, closely resembling a gyroball, with a shake/drop as it reaches the plate. Lately Matt Foster has really become one of the best overall hitters in Blitzball. His bat proved to be one of the most important reasons KCBL took home the 2024 BWS Championship Accolades/Stats: 2024 BWS Champion 2023 BWS Runner Up 2023 Sunflower Series MVP
18. Hudson Borgmeyer
Bio: Hudson’s career started on a lackluster trail until he signed with the Badgers and had a career performance in the 2021 Como Blitzball World Series, where he hit two large home runs. Since then, Hudson has started his franchise in the Riptides and has been a part of some stellar tournament teams. Borgmeyer’s pitching has also taken off since 2021, led by his screwball and knuckle drop combination. He consistently finds the zone, and his pitches dip more than most screwball/drop pitchers, making him an effective arm for any squad he plays on. Accolades/Stats: 2021 Como Blitzball World Series Champion (MVP) 2022 Sunflower Series Champion 2023 Blitzball World Series Champion
19. Jordan Schroeder
Bio: Jordan has been a steady force in the tournament scene since mid 2021, but really caught some eyes through his 2023 world series performance in which he allowed only 1 run in the entire tournament. His riser/slider combination froze many of the hitters he faced and that is just one of the tools he features in his bag. His speed and patient eye makes him a formidable threat at the plate. In 2023 Jordan looks to acquire his second straight Swisher Blitzball MVP award. Accolades/Stats: 2022 Swisher Blitzball MVP 2023 Blitzball World Series Semifinalist
20. Drew Davis
Bio: Drew Davis has burst onto the scene as one of the most exciting and entertaining players in Blitzball. After months of looking for an opportunity to enter the rankings, he finally got his shot in the Jomboy Challenger Series where he ended up winning the tournament and claiming #20 rank. His skills seem to get better with the official Blitzball rules, and the sky is the limit for Drew Davis.
21. Jimmy Knorp
Jimmy Knorp made his Blitzball debut with the Warehouse's newest franchise in the Woogas and was a hitting machine. He took home the BB4 "Wall Breaker" award. He had a .700 average while leading the Woogas to the Semifinals. The sky is the limit for Knorp as he gets more affiliated with the game of Blitzball. Accolades/Stats: BB4 MVP Runner-Up
22. Jack Marquardt
This rising Swisher Blitzball star found ways to turn heads in the blitzball community. Whether it was the batters turning away from his knuckle drop, or the audience turning to watch, it didn’t matter to Marquardt who seemed to be a shut down guy every time he touched the mound. Though he would tell you he is not much of a threat at the plate, the Swisher All-Star and Cy Young candidate makes up for everything lost at the plate with his dominance on the mound.
23. David Drzewicki
Bio: The player who completes one of the best trios in Blitzball with Gainesville, is David Drzewicki. After seeing minimal time on the mound during the 2024 Blitzball World Series, Drez has been given more opportunity throughout the year and he has really blossomed into a fantastic player. While throwing shut-out innings and blasting a tournament record 9 home runs in the Columns Classic, Drez finally makes his way into the Top 25.
24. Lou Dab
Bio: It is very fitting that Lou Dab is a mailman, because when Del Caribe needs him, he always seems to deliver. Both his pitching and hitting have shined in the recent Blitzball Battles, and with his swing speed, he looks more than capable of thriving in future Blitzball events. In the recent Jomboy Challenger Series, Lou Dab defended his #24 rank and has solidified himself in the Top 25.
25. Jordan Laurila
The Lefty flamethrower of the Story Hill Stompers caps off this list at the 25 spot, beating out many others due to his ability to contribute equally on both sides of the ball. We saw his skill on display at the 2024 Blitzball World Series on Pinstripe Power. A few of his Stompers teammates are right behind him on this list looking to compete for this final spot down the road.
