I’ve waited long enough to write this, but finding the words to wrap up a year like this hasn’t been easy. This season was nothing like my last two. A new team, new faces, and a whole lot of adventure. I came into it not knowing exactly what to expect, and I left with friendships and memories I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. Between the injuries and time away from the mound, this season didn’t go the way I hoped. It was hard watching from the side when all I wanted was to be out there with my guys. But those moments weren’t going to dictate how special this year was. There was still so much to be grateful for, and this team reminded me of that every day. There’s nothing I love more than playing this game and using it to bring smiles and joy to the people around me. Seeing what this team meant to people in our very first season is something I’ll always be proud to have been a part of. It hurts that we didn’t finish it with a championship. I wanted that so badly for this group. But when I think about the friendships, the laughs, and the people we reached along the way, there’s still so much worth celebrating. To everyone who supported me, supported this team, and welcomed the Beach everywhere we went, thank you. Through the highs, the setbacks, and everything in between, you made us feel at home. I love this team. I love this brand and everything it stands for. I’m grateful I get to be part of building something special, and I want to keep growing right alongside it, as a person, a teammate, and someone who gets to help grow the game of Banana Ball. A season I’ll never forget. Thanks for the memories! 🤙🏽✌🏽🫵🏽 #bananaball #locobeachcoconuts #whatayear #thanksforthememories

YEAR 2 DONE✅ I am so grateful for what the Lord has blessed me with in 2026! Being a part of the beginning of a new brand, new culture, and new relationships has been incredibly fun and wish I could relive this year over and over. I wouldn’t change a thing about 2026 or about Loco Beach. To see a group of guys completely buy into a brand and into each other was amazing to be apart of. To my teammates, you guys have no clue how big of an impact every single one of you guys made on my life. I looked forward to seeing y’all every day and cherish every moment! From being strangers, to brothers for life. Love you boys🫶🏽 To Loco Beach Nation, you guys are what made Loco Beach a community. Y’all bought into the culture and gave every one of us a reason to be proud of the name on our chest! Although Loco Beach was never a physical place, it will always be a people, and all are welcome, come as you are! 🤙🏽✌🏽🫵🏽 To my family and friends, thank you guys so much for the amazing support this season. Since the beginning of my journey in Banana Ball, I have received nothing but love and support from my loved ones and I can’t be more grateful. The Lord has truly blessed me with the most amazing human beings that I get to call family. I love you guys🫶🏽 I love you Loco Beach. Hope to see you soon!🫶🏽

It’s hard to put into words what this season meant to me. I never could have imagined that a sport that didn’t exist 6 years ago could impact so many lives. Thank you to the fans for being apart of this journey. I had no idea what I was getting into on that cruise two years ago. You all embraced me from day one when I was just a guy with a guitar and dream to play baseball again. Thank you Coach Crocco for taking a chance on me. This is the best team I’ve ever been apart of. I’ve made some of my best friends and memories of my life because of this group. I love each one of ya’ll! The sun has set on the 2026 season but this is just the beginning at Loco Beach! 🫶🏼 Uncle Kaden

We started the season with one word in mind- Family. We ended the season with the word family engraved into my heart. This was a life changing year to say the least, the love that was shared and spread across the country the last 9 months has impacted me more than I could ever imagine. A rookie season to remember and never forget.. I started the year saying “yes” to an opportunity where I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Packed up, drove across the country and started a new chapter in a place I had never been. Arms wide open to whatever was in front of me.. I was met with love, respect, and introduced to a family I never knew existed. Over the next 9 months I spent my life saying yes.. yes to opportunities, yes to being the first, yes to embracing the people around me, and yes to diving into who I truly am. Today I am grateful to wrap my arms around the brothers that have embraced me and lifted me up all year. This is just the beginning of this crazy chapter at Loco Beach.. 222 out🩵

A special thank you to @locobeachcoconuts @thesavbananas @thefirefighters @theindianapolisclowns @thepartyanimals for giving my students at Myers Elementary a shout out and encouragement as they raise money to build a well in South Sudan. We couldn’t ask for better role models to speak words of encouragement over our students! Thank you for all you do and for always being fans first! 🍌 🥥 🔥 🤡 🎉

I’ve been to a lot of incredible events in my life, but @bananaball is something special! What you see on the field is amazing, but what impressed me even more is the amount of work, passion, and energy this team puts into making sure every fan walks away with an experience of a lifetime. From @yellowtuxjesse and the Savannah Bananas to every player, dancer, MC, and the folks behind the scenes, the entire show is legendary! 🙌 The entertainment is unreal, but the people behind it are even better. I came for an unforgettable night and left with friendships I know will last a lifetime. Huge respect to everyone involved in this incredible organization. Thank you for welcoming me and letting me be a small part of something so special! ❤️🍌 Now I want to know… who’s taking their kids to a Banana Ball game next year?! 👀👇 #bananaball #savannahbananas #texastailgaters #bananaballworldtour #fansfirst

I was so blessed this year to be able to watch 30 Loco Beach Coconut games to support @blakebenson23 and his amazing teammates! I got to travel with my future husband to super cool places and make new friends almost every weekend this season! My goal this year was to never rewear an outfit and I think I accomplished it 😂 I’m super excited for next year and I can’t wait to cheer on Blake at the All Star game! Roll Nuts! 🩵🥥🌴🧡
