Former Coyote signs with Savannah Bananas

Former Coyote signs with Savannah Bananas
Ask Fisher Polydoroff about his future and he'll tell you it's going bananas.
As in the Savannah Bananas, baseball's answer to the legendary Harlem Globetrotters. 
From dancing - including the umpires - to doing a flip before catching a fly ball, the newest sensation in the sports and entertainment world is sweeping the nation, even selling out giant professional stadiums.
And now Polydoroff, who played for the Weatherford College Coyotes this past season, is part of the roster.
"I wrote a song and made a music video about how I want to be a Savannah Banana. I sent it to the organization, and they absolutely loved it!" Polydoroff, from Keller, said. 
After that, he went to a tryout, taking four instruments with him. Along with impressing them with his music skills, in the field he struck out three batters and at the plate he hit a backside double off the fence.
"Since moving down to Savannah, everybody in the organization has welcomed me with open arms. They all had heard about my notorious tryout, and I found out I was only the second person to be unanimously elected to Banana Ball from the tryout process," he said.
"He brought a bunch of unique energy. He is a character," said new Coyotes coach Jud Kinzy, an assistant this past season. "Knows multiple languages. Plays multiple instruments. Music video maker. Owns more suits than a New York businessman. Very happy go lucky. The Bananas are an absolute perfect fit for him."
 
'MOST INTERESTING MAN'
Polydoroff has been referred to as Weatherford College's "Most Interesting Man." It's a title he embraces, along with being a true Renaissance man. He's tri-lingual, plays over 10 instruments and is a pretty dang good ball player.
"There are many facets of my personality that I can't wait for the world to see," he said.
This past season he threw the first knuckleball in WC history. He came in with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and got the Coyotes out of a jam to secure his first collegiate save.
"It was an awesome experience. I'll always be grateful to coach (Jeff) Lightfoot for giving me that opportunity," he said. "I never got the chance to pitch in high school, and as soon as I signed with Weatherford College, I thought my pitching days were over besides summer ball."
Now, he'll be primarily a knuckleball pitcher with the Bananas, along with "specializing in old-time stances when I get the chance to hit."
"Fisher is easily the most unique guy I've ever coached. His talents go way behind the baseball field," Lightfoot, now the college's athletic director, said. "It's been a blast to be around him. This opportunity is a perfect fit. I'm looking forward to following Fisher in the journey and hope to get out and watch him if I can."
Polydoroff's major is jazz studies.
"I am a tenor saxophonist by trade, and this year I worked my butt off to become a very solid jazz flautist," he said. "Balancing being a multi-instrumentalist was hard with school work and baseball, but I always find time to do the things I love."
 
ENTERTAINING FAMILY
Polydoroff comes from a family connected to the entertainment business. His grandmother, Renee Heath, has released and recorded some gospel music. His mother works in the movie industry.
"So I have a pretty good grasp on it as a whole," he said.
He has a strong media presence that includes music, comedy and more. And he could be found singing golden oldies music to folks in local retirement homes. He runs a TikTok page named @oldiesfish that he started in January that has already amassed over three million views and over 25,000 followers.
"I grew up listening to 50's, 60's and 70's music, and being a singer/songwriter, I wanted to share my gifts with the people that like that kind of music," he said. "It absolutely fills my soul to be able to make the days of the elderly and bring back so many memories."
 
ONWARD AND UPWARD
The Bananas contract will end Polydoroff's college career. However, he is confident signing with the Bananas opens the door to a lot of possibilities in his future.
"I think that my music career will take off because of Banana Ball as I plan on writing a lot of songs for the organization," he said. "I can also see myself getting into acting/voice acting. My dream growing up was and is still to be a professional broadcaster so that is definitely in the cards. 
"My plans after Banana Ball are endless. I think all aspects of who I am will start to make it out to the world. I'm excited to be able to share my baseball talents, as well as all of the off the field stuff that I've been doing since I was a kid."
