Former Husker pitcher Kyle Perry signs with Savannah Bananas

A former Nebraska baseball player’s journey continues, with a little twist on the conventional.

Former Husker pitcher Kyle Perry has signed with the Savannah Bananas.

The Bananas are an independent baseball team that has been compared to the Harlem Globetrotters, although their games are more of a movement for the sport. They use their alternative “Banana Ball” format, where the team uses specific exhibitions and rules for their competitions.

Some Banana Ball rules include points instead of runs, a game time limit, foul balls caught by fans are an out, and other tweaks to make games as entertaining as possible.

A native of Omaha, Perry went 7-6 over 113.1 innings in six seasons in Lincoln. During his time with the Huskers, the season was shortened by COVID-19 and other injuries. Still, he helped Nebraska to both Big Ten regular season titles (2021) and tournament titles (2024).

The Savannah Bananas’ 2025 schedule includes games across the country, including a May 23-24 stop in Kansas City. The full schedule can be found here.
