So today, we are introducing our brand new President Yeshayah Goldfarb! PLUS: Ballers Assistant GM Tyler Petersen and VP of Communications & Fan Entertainment Casey Pratt will share not one, but two new player signings. Wed, 11 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT https://www.oaklandballers.com/video/2025/Introducing_Our_New_Team_President_|_TWO_new_player_signings https://www.oaklandballers.com/video/2025/James_Colyer_Signs_With_Washington_Nationals_|_Ballers_Champion_to_MLB_Organization Oakland baseball keeps delivering. James Colyer, a cornerstone of the 2025 Oakland Ballers Championship bullpen, has officially signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals, becoming the first Ballers champion to sign with an MLB organization. In this episode, James Colyer sits down with Ballers Assistant GM Tyler Petersen and VP of Communications & Fan Entertainment Casey Pratt for an in-depth conversation about his journey — from growing up in Hayward and playing high school ball at James Logan, to dominating out of the Ballers bullpen, to taking the next step toward the big leagues. Colyer was a force in 2025: 36 relief appearances (3rd most on the team) 3.77 bullpen ERA (2nd best on the staff) 55 strikeouts in 43.0 innings A key piece of a championship season in Oakland We talk about what this moment means to James, the grind it took to get here, his roots in the East Bay, and what it represents for the Ballers as a player-development pipeline — now five players strong in MLB affiliate systems. From Oakland to Washington, this is what building something real looks like.

From metalworking and fabrication to large-scale mechanics, this visit was all about blending baseball, art, and Oakland ingenuity. Think big. Think dramatic. Think the kind of moment that makes a ballpark erupt—whether that’s unlocking the season with a massive key or firing a cannon after a home run. But this visit is about more than spectacle. The Crucible is in the final stretch of a race to unlock a $500,000 challenge grant, and the Ballers are showing up in support—because this is what Oakland does. We build together. We show up for each other. And we create unforgettable experiences rooted in community. This is Oakland energy, forged in steel and shared purpose. #OaklandBallers #TheCrucible #OaklandMade #ByOaklandForOakland #OpeningDayEnergy #CommunityBuilt #IndustrialArt #BaseballCulture #RaimondiPark #OaklandCreatives #IndependentBaseball #OaklandPride Thu, 29 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMT https://www.oaklandballers.com/video/2025/Building_the_Next_Great_Ballpark_Moment_|_Oakland_Ballers_x_The_Crucible https://www.oaklandballers.com/video/2025/B-s_Cast_LIVE_with_Tyler_Lozano We're live with Ballers fan-favorite Tyler Lozano. Will T-Lo be returning to run it back in 2026? He joins assistant GM Tyler Petersen and VP of Communications and Fan Entertainment to discuss. Mon, 26 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMT https://www.oaklandballers.com/video/2025/B-s_Cast_LIVE_with_Tyler_Lozano https://www.oaklandballers.com/video/2025/Tremayne_Cobb_Jr_Returns_for_2026 The Ballers have their shortstop back. Tremayne Cobb Jr., who was one of the anchors of the lineup and the defense in the team's 2025 championship campaign, agreed to terms on a contract for the 2026 season. In his first pro season, Cobb slashed .296/.389/.419 and stepped up to the plate more than anyone in Ballers history, tallying 432 plate appearances. As the team's primary leadoff hitter during the year Cobb was second on the team in runs (85), fourth in hits (110), second in doubles (20) and fourth in steals (16). Defensively he held a .963 fielding percentage and was part of turning 55 double plays. Tremayne was best known for huge moments when the lights were brightest. He nearly single-handedly won Oakland's opening night, with five hits and a Knockout Round victory. His walk-off home run at midseason against the Sky Sox was perhaps the most replayed clip of any hit from 2025. And in the championship, tied up the game in Game 4 with a two-run shot to keep their destiny alive. He joins an infield group that is both new and old to fans. Fellow returners INF Nick Leehey and UTIL Esai Santos will be joined by new faces 1B/OF Jeter Ybarra and INF Zack Blaszak. For a team that broke a wins record with a 73-23 record and took home a ring, bringing back the shortstop that led them there is a big step toward their sought-after repeat.

You may have noticed some extremely fancy cameras around the ballpark in late September. Well, those cameras were RED V-RAPTOR 8K cameras, recording in 8K resolution at 60 frames per second provided by GoogleXR and they were shooting our entire game to deliver an immersive VR experience at Raimondi Park. They caught the setup, the crowd, Scrappy The Rally Possum, and even a walk-off knockout round win. We can't thank Google enough for their partnership. Note: This video was filmed and optimized for immersive viewing - best experienced using YouTube on Android XR or compatible XR devices for a fully 180° experience. If you don't have a VR headset handy, you can watch on your phone and set the video to maximum resolution. You’ll be able to look around and immerse yourself in Ballers baseball. And if you just want to watch on your TV or computer, it’s still very compelling. Enjoy.

We will play our inaugural Spring 2024 season at Raimondi Park in West Oakland—a park once touted for contributing “more baseball stars than any park in the country.” Raimondi is the home of legends like Frank Robinson and Curt Flood. It was the home of the A-26 Boilermakers who used baseball as a tool to build community and express solidarity. Today we are also proud to unveil our $1.6M dollar plan to use private funding to upgrade the play space at Raimondi. These improvements will give the Ballers a proper home and also create a premier play space for Oakland youth baseball and softball. We hope you can join us for some of our 48 home games this year (you can get tickets at oaklandballers.com) but if you can’t we hope you enjoy and utilize this newly activated park the other 317 nights this year. We are honored to be a part of the next chapter of baseball at Raimondi Park. We look forward to working with the City and local residents to prove what Oakland can do!
