You get 1 PP for each Custom Ammy you create. Commish looks at them and will turn them into the closest existing ammy creation. Commish reserves the right to nix any entry for any reason.

Limit of 2 per GM per season.

As of 2031, the Custom Ammys will be created as High School players ONLY, and they will evolve from there.

Oscar is the son of that well known GM, Jeff Palin. Despite his Dad's erratic career Oscar has worked hard at his craft and has become a tremendous contact hitter with a Joey Votto like eye. His Dad says that he got his eye from him: "Oscar, that's the only way I could get on base; either taking a walk or leaning into a pitch!" Oscar had plans to attend Lee University and study to be a Youth Pastor, but his love of baseball could put that lucrative career on hold for the time being.

Hopefully I did this write...er...right...

You can write a short bio as well, but don't get TOO specific outside of the four talent/personalities you are allowed to detail:

Quinn Richardson is the grandson of current Omaha Hawks manager Quentin Richardson. He has earned the nickname short-stuff among teammates that transpires fro his 5'6 frame. He may lack vertical ability, but he doesn't lack in hitting the ball out of the park as his elite power make him one of the better hitting amateurs in the nation. His glove backs up his play at the plate, although he does have a tendency to not be able to lay off some bad pitches.

Logan Niles is the son of current Omaha Hawks General Manager Justin Niles. Logan has a good defensive mindset and good approach at the plate, but what separate him from others is his great work ethic. Fun Fact...Logan's nickname is LJ, as his middle name is Jacob. Jacob Williams spent time last season with the Hawks around the infield, and is a long shot to potentially play shortstop this coming season for the Hawks.

This is just a tribute to one of my favorite players as a kid whose career was cut too short. Was a perfectionist, one of the best players on a bad team and had trouble dealing with failure and the boos. Maybe his career in the BBA can be longer.

Bats: S

Hometown: Caernarfon, Wales
Position: SS
Ethnicity: White
1 Elite Talent: Contact
1 Good Talent: Defense
1 Weakness: avoid K
One Personality Trait: Good Work Ethic

Jones is trying to become the first Welsh player to make it to the BBA. He grew up playing cricket, but thinks its a game for sissies. He practiced his fielding by having his sister throw rocks at him, a task in which she didn't need any encouragement. While he doesn't have much background in baseball he's a hard worker. Has been a Calgary Pioneers fan since he first learned about the game and dreams of playing there someday.

Ah when I searched it was just 1st Nationality, and his is listed as 2nd Nationality, so I missed it. That's ok, still underrepresented.

Name: Taro Kudo
Nickname:
Bats: L
Throws: R
Hometown: Nagaoka, NII Japan
Position: CF
Ethnicity: Japanese
1 Elite Talent: Power
1 Good Talent: Arm
1 Weakness: Eye
One Personality Trait: High Greed

My first favorite OOTP player. Taro is a popular "Rock Star" like CF who is good for a .300/.330/.500 split heavy line every year. He doesn't hit many doubles but does have enough speed to steal 15-20 bases. He is also a very good outfielder with a cannon for an arm. His range is a tweener between decent CF and amazing RF.

Name: Sozui Kawashima
Nickname:
Bats: L
Throws: L
Hometown: Tokyo, TOK Japan
Position: RF
Ethnicity: Japanese
1 Elite Talent: Contact
1 Good Talent: Eye
1 Weakness: Power
One Personality Trait: Low Work Ethic

Taro's long time wing man. Known as the "Tony Gwynn of Japan". The short and stocky Kawashima slaps singles and doubles all over the field and is indefensable. He also has a good eye and is always up there in average and OBP. On the down side, he doesn't hit enough homers for a corner, is slow as heck and other then having an above average arm, his defense is shaky.

Name: Larry Barkin
Nickname: Dirt Dog
Bats: R
Throws: R
Hometown: Cincinnati, OH
Position: SS
Ethnicity: African
1 Elite Talent: Defense (arm and range, don't care about error)
1 Good Talent: Contact
1 Weakness: Power
One Personality Trait: Good Leader
Bio: Since his first season of tee-ball, Barkin has dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, idolizing Lucas McNeill of his home team Yellow Springs Nine. Thru his amatuer player career, Barkin has yet to develop the same type of power McNeill is known for, but instead has become one of the better fielding shortstops in the midwest. A natural leader, Barkin's led his high school team to back-to-back state championships.

Hometown: New Brunswick, NJ
Position: SP
Ethnicity: Caucasian
1 Elite Talent: Stuff
1 Good Talent: Movement
1 Weakness: Loyalty (been known to take high holy days off)
One Personality Trait: Intelligence
Bio: After pulling a prank in Hebrew School, Kandy feared the worst and ran away from home, living on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. It was there, while throwing baseballs at milk jugs, that Kandy was discovered by a local area scout. Kandy returned back to his family in New Brunswick with a newfound passion for pitching and the Torah.

Name: Beauregard McBunterson
Nickname: Bunty
Bats: Left
Throws: Right
Hometown: Yazoo City, Mississippi
Position: 2B
Ethnicity: African American/Irish
1 Elite Talent: Bunt for hit
1 Good Talent: Speed
1 Weakness: Power
One Personality Trait: Work Ethic

Beau Bunterson never saw a pitch he couldn't dribble down the third base line, or first base line, or wherever he wants to put it. The man's ability to catch a pitch with the bat is the stuff of legends, which is good, because "Bunty" can't hit the ball out of the infield. Sometimes, if he swings out of his shoes, he can get it back to the pitcher's mound. It's tough when you're a buck fifty soaking wet. But Bunty has his wheels, and his glove, and of course, his incredible bunting skills.

Bats: S

Hometown: Valparaiso, IN
Position: Catcher
Ethnicity: Macedonia
1 Elite Talent: Defense
1 Good Talent: Power
1 Weakness: K's
One Personality Trait: Leader

Nacho grew up in Macedonia playing soccer, but his dream was always to play baseball in the BBA. Coach Pete, his father, moved the family to Valparaiso when Nacho was 11. While he continued to play soccer for his Dad, his passion was baseball. Nacho was lucky enough to befriend Mickey Moron-dini when he moved to Valpo and Mickey introduced Nacho to Tim McCarver. Once McCarver stopped talking, he taught Nacho the finer points of framing pitches and calling a ballgame. Nacho digs the long ball but sometimes he gets carried away trying to hit HR's. Macedonia to the BBA? Is it possible?

Alfredo Cardenas is a southpaw with pinpoint control. His ability to keep hitters off balance with his combination of pitches and forcing them to swing. Since he rarely walks anyone it allows him to limit the number of pitches he throws.
