House of the Dragon, but Baseball
Here is my 26-man active roster plus coaching staff for a House of the Dragon Baseball team
1B - Laena RH home run or nothing hitter, strong defender
2B - Laenor LH defense first, hits for the average or below
SS - Rhaenyra RH/LH all star switch hitter (bisexual), high defensive ceiling, hits home runs, .280 avg, high OBP, smart baserunner. nicknamed the Realm's Delight of course
3B - Mysaria RH a bit older, moved from shortstop after an injury, flirts with Rhaenyra all game, can't turn doubles into triples like she used to, but still a clutch hitter
C - Harwin RH power hitter, walks a lot, defensively clumsy, fights a lot, leads league in hits by pitch last season
LF - Jace LH scrappy young recently promoted prospect. high chase% rate, but the power is there if he can utilize it. strong jump and speed in the outfield
CF - Helaena RH/LH incredible defensive outfielder, can read plays like no one else, almost like she knows where it's going before the bat hits the ball
RF - Criston RH standard defense, standard offense, aging quickly and on a terrible contract
DH/OF - Daemon LH all star hitter who was always a massive defensive liability. also a fighter. has most mound charging of active players in the league.
Gwayne Hightower - IF/OF utility player
Alyn Velaryon - Backup Catcher
Addam Velaryon - OF backup, pinch hitter
Oscar Tully - IF backup, pinch runner
Alicent Hightower LH - began as a breakout starter, Cy Young favorite (or Westeros equivalent), until she injures Rhaenyra on a nasty fastball (at Driftmark Stadium). she plummets soon after and is demoted to the minors. eventually traded to a new team and makes it back as a solid backend reliever, occasionally the longman, until disaster for the team strikes and she's forced back into a starting role. Also I think she used to be pretty good as a hitter and pre-mandatory DH she could have been a pretty good two-way player, but Otto curtailed any hitting development and forced her into only pitching.
Baela Targaryen RH - young high velocity pitcher. tommy john surgery in college/minors but back on track. prone to walks when she loses control of her pitches
Alys Rivers LH - low velocity, high movement pitcher, lots of off-speed pitches. gives solid length and is always healthy
Rhea Royce RH - pitcher. idk. im running out of people and ideas
Daeron Targaryen RH - like mother like son. except he's right handed and pitches nothing like her but everyone compares them.
Ormund Hightower RH - iron man type. ERA balloons near the end of season as he gets overworked
Erryk Cargyll LH - the twins have opposite arm angles
Hugh Hammer RH - throws 100 mph, does not have any control, will have you pulling your hair out when he walks the bases loaded.
Rhaena Targaryen LH - underrated pitcher, has a bigger arsenal than most and could be extended as a starter if anyone gave a damn
Joffrey Lonmouth RH - knuckleballer
Closer - Aemond Targaryen RH - you'd think the eyepatch would fuck with his depth perception but it doesn't
Team Owner - Viserys Targaryen
President of Baseball Operations - Otto Hightower
Manager - Corlys Velaryon
Bench Coach - Lyonel Strong
Hitting Coach - Harrold Westerling
Pitching Coach - Rhaenys Targaryen
First Base Coach - Orwyle
Third Base Coach - Lyman Beesbury
And then in the background Aegon is a top 100 prospect who gets injured all the time and is being cared for/tormented by his physiotherapist Larys.
