TEAM OVERVIEW
The Oakland based OBombers reached outside the Bay Area in putting together their 2020 United Wiffle®Ball National Championship tournament roster. Sylvie Serrano and Rob Colon looked some six hours down the road from Oakland to add southern California wiffler Ryan Kaufman, before reaching all the way across the country – some 3,000 miles away from their hometown – to add New England wifflers Dan Haverty and Mike Tuohy. The resulting roster is deep in pitching and carries enough offensive weapons to make the OBombers a significant threat at this year’s tournament.
Haverty and Kaufman – who were teammates last year on the Legends of Wiffle in Fast Plastic – give the OBombers two electric arms to work with, something they were missing the past couple of years. While both pitchers may not have the big game experience of other top pitchers in the tournament, their talent is undeniable. Colon is one of those hitters who – when he gets on a roll – is a near impossible out. Serrano is solid on both sides of the ball and at this stage in his career is well-suited for the 3rd or 4th pitcher role he’ll be able to settle into on this roster. On paper, Tuohy looks like the potential difference maker. A Wiffle®Ball prodigy who hasn’t seen much fast pitch action in recent years – but is still solidly on the right side of the aging curve – Tuohy has the ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball. He played well in very limited action last summer in GSWL Pro and might be the key piece to the OBombers making a run in October.
