Savannah Bananas Land Netflix Spotlight with Upcoming Documentary “Batter Up, Bananas Out”
The Savannah Bananas, baseball’s most entertaining phenomenon, are stepping onto an even bigger stage. Reports initially hinted at a $13.5 million Netflix deal tied to either a two-episode series or a tribute to “Savannah Clapton,” but clarifications from multiple sources, including Facebook posts and CNET coverage, confirm that Netflix is preparing to release an official documentary on the team. The series, titled Batter Up, Bananas Out, will bring the electrifying world of Banana Ball to streaming audiences worldwide.
The Bananas have captivated fans with their barnstorming tours, viral videos, and rule-bending version of baseball designed to put fans first. From choreographed dances and trick plays to walk-up performances that feel more like concerts than sporting events, the team has redefined what it means to attend a ballgame. Now, Netflix is offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the Bananas became a cultural movement.
Batter Up, Bananas Out will feature in-depth interviews with players, coaches, and team owner Jesse Cole, whose signature yellow tuxedo has become a symbol of innovation and showmanship. Beyond the fun and theatrics, the series will highlight the Bananas’ philosophy: baseball can be inclusive, engaging, and joyful while still celebrating the competitive spirit of the game.
The timing couldn’t be more fitting. With sold-out games across the country and a passionate fan base that spans millions on social media, the Bananas are poised to take their story to a global audience. For longtime supporters, the documentary will be a chance to relive the chaos and creativity of Banana Ball; for newcomers, it will be an introduction to a team that is rewriting the rules of America’s pastime.
With Netflix’s global reach, Banana Ball is about to get even bigger—and fans everywhere are ready to join the fun.
