Match date:
See commentator listings for today's matches.
Firefighters take on Loco Beach Coconuts in Banana Ball on YouTube, with AJ Swiatek on the main call, Zach Staton as co-commentator and Michael Schwartz reporting from the field. For UK viewers, the listed start time of 00:00 on 21 June 2026 means this is a midnight watch in British Summer Time, while the broadcast will also be available to audiences following Banana Ball’s growing online presence.
The key broadcast name here is AJ Swiatek, who is being billed by his agency as the broadcast entertainer for Banana Ball’s Loco Beach Coconuts.[1][2] His own professional materials describe him as a sports broadcaster and creative storyteller, and a STAA profile says he is a 2025 Ball State graduate who spent the previous summer as the No. 2 broadcaster for the Northwest Arkansas Naturals before moving into the Savannah Bananas orbit.[3][4] That background helps explain why he has quickly become a familiar voice in the Banana Ball ecosystem.[3][4]
Zach Staton is listed as the co-commentator, though the search results provided here do not include the same level of published background detail for him. Michael Schwartz is named as reporter, and that role should help add pace and context to a format that leans heavily on entertainment, live reaction and in-game storytelling rather than traditional baseball presentation.
Banana Ball is designed to be faster and more theatrical than standard baseball, so the commentary team usually has to balance explanation with showmanship. In that environment, a broadcaster with a strong personality and a clear play-by-play style is especially valuable, and Swiatek’s public-facing branding strongly suggests that he is being used as a central voice for the team’s presentation.[1][2][4] His social media biography also identifies him as the “Voice of THE @locobeachcoconuts,” reinforcing that he is now closely tied to the team’s identity.[6]
For viewers trying to find the stream, the important detail is simple: this match is on the Loco Beach Coconuts YouTube channel. There is no indication in the supplied information that ESPN, Fox, TBS or MLB Network are carrying this game, so YouTube appears to be the primary destination for live viewing.
Banana Ball has built a following by turning baseball into a spectator-first entertainment product, and the broadcast team is part of that formula. Swiatek’s recent rise through college and minor-league broadcasting, followed by his move into the Banana Ball world, gives this game a fresh but still credible commentary setup.[3][4] Fans interested in the wider project can also look up the Savannah Bananas brand for more background on the league’s style and expanding audience.
