Best Fantasy Baseball Team Names, 2025

So, you’ve finally put down MLB The Show 25 and gone out with your buddies. They’ve suggested that instead of grinding Diamond Dynasty all day, you join them in a fantasy baseball league. You think, “Why not? That sounds fun!” There’s only one problem: You don’t have a name for your team.

Picking a team name isn’t as daunting a task as it may seem to be. Some can go the ultra-serious route and brand their fantasy team using traditional American sports naming conventions, and nobody will bat an eye. But what if you prefer to get creative? After all, you might get completely destroyed in your league, but why not make the name something memorable?

Here are 10 fantasy baseball names that should at least elicit a chuckle when other players see them on the standings.

The Best Fantasy Baseball Team Names In 2025

The Mendoza Liners

If it is your first time playing fantasy baseball and you have absolutely no confidence in your ability to properly draft, then this is the name for you. But don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll break .200 as a team!

Pitch Please

I know, my sense of humor is awful. But a buddy of mine used this team name for one year, and it always gets a chuckle out of me. Maybe your buddies will also find some humor in it (unless you’re destroying them, in which case it might become less funny).

Catcher In The Rye

“Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by Paul Skenes’ splinker.” Seriously, look it up! This Salinger guy must’ve been a baseball prophet or something.

Underwater Basket Weavers

Luke Weaver bringing this old meme out during press day for last year’s World Series was nothing short of glorious. And if you’re lucky enough to draft Weaver for your team, the joke writes itself. Yeah, it’s an old internet joke. But I promise, the few that get it will appreciate it.

Belly Itchers

It’s likely you were tormented by this chant when you were in Little League. It’s time your enemies shared your dread. Stock up on the best starting pitchers in the game, and be sure that all of your buddies are giving you the silent treatment by season’s end.

Base Invaders

Once the name of an arcade cabinet, it is now the name of your fantasy baseball team — a team built on pure, nasty speed with emphasis on baserunning and defense.

Catch Me Outside, How ‘Bout That?

I’ll be completely honest: This joke is still played out to this day, even nearly a decade later. But, it still has its place. Especially in a fantasy baseball league run by your buddy who waits two weeks to update the scores and argues with you about what lineup you put out.

Kiss My A’s

Did I mention that my sense of humor was trash? Well, if you missed it the first time, this team name will more than confirm it. It should be especially funny on draft night when you’re announcing your draft picks. It will probably stop hitting midway through draft night, but I’m sure it’ll get some groans towards the end.

Will Smith At Teoscars

Shamelessly stolen from someone on Reddit, this one might just take the cake. Just try not to slap anyone when they inevitably start talking crap about your favorite player’s ability to deliver in the playoffs.

The Big Base Theory

Get it? Because the bases are getting bigger, and The Big Bang Theory was a popular, yet polarizing sitcom… Ah, you get it. You know. Look, I’m not a big names guy. I mean, look at my own name. Does it look creative?
