LEXINGTON County, SC — The Lexington County Blowfish are thrilled to announce that former Blowfish star and local standout Ashby Vining is returning to Lexington County Baseball Stadium this Wednesday, November 11th, as the special featured guest for the team’s November Monthly Community Luncheon.

Vining, a proud graduate of Gilbert High School, recently captured national attention as a star rookie catcher for the Loco Beach Coconuts in the widely popular Banana Ball Championship League. Before taking his signature showmanship, elite trick plays, and explosive bat to the global stage, Vining was a hometown hero right here in Lexington County.

During his time with the Blowfish, Vining was a Coastal Plain League (CPL) All-Star and a key piece of the championship-winning squad. After a stellar collegiate career at Saint Peter’s University, he was selected in the second round of the inaugural Banana Ball Player Draft, quickly becoming a viral sensation with over 3.8 million views for his lightning-fast, between-the-legs defensive trick throws.

“We are incredibly proud of everything Ashby has accomplished on and off the field,” said Blowfish Co-Owner Bill Shanahan. “From his days hitting home runs at Gilbert High School and winning a championship here in a Blowfish uniform to lighting up stadiums across the country, Ashby has always represented Lexington County with immense talent and character. We can’t wait to welcome him home and share his incredible journey with our community.”

The monthly luncheon offers fans, local business owners, and community leaders a unique opportunity to catch up with Vining, hear behind-the-scenes stories from his whirlwind rookie season in Banana Ball, and learn what is next for the local star.
