Former Savannah Bananas and Party Animals pitcher Dylan Porter joins B's Cast to share his incredible journey — from growing up in Oakland and Richmond, to bringing the banana ball magic to the Oakland Ballers!

We dive deep into Dylan’s experiences with the Savannah Bananas and Party Animals, what it was really like playing competitive Banana Ball, the pressure of performing for sold-out stadiums, and how he’s taking everything he learned back to independent pro baseball.

Find out how Dylan made the Ballers roster through an open tryout, his dream of climbing back into affiliated baseball, and why he’s excited to play in front of his hometown crowd. We even talk about his signature pistol squat move, fan interaction lessons from Banana Ball, and how creativity and energy are changing baseball for the better.
