He’s said to have been discovered in an abandoned mine shaft, gripping a cracked wooden bat and chewing on a piece of dynamite like it was jerky. Nobody knows how long he’d been down there — some say he’s a leftover from the old D Line crew, others swear he was born from a cave-in and the roar of a cheering crowd.

What we do know is this: when Dusty steps up to the plate, the ground rumbles.

He wears a battered miner’s helmet with a working lamp, a uniform stained with 140 years of coal, and cleats heavy enough to kickstart a steam engine. Dusty doesn’t jog — he marches like he’s heading into a shift. His bat, nicknamed “The Widowmaker,” is carved from old mine timber, and every time he connects with a pitch, it sounds like a rail spike driving home.

💪Strengths: Raw Power – Hits bombs like blasting through bedrock. Toughness – Immune to pressure; forged in darkness. Endurance – Plays like he’s got a full night shift ahead. Leadership – Calls every teammate “kid” and means it.

⚙️ Weaknesses: Refuses to Wash Uniform – Calls it "historic patina." Still Uses Coal Dust as Eye Black. Occasionally Shouts “Fire in the Hole!” before bunting. Won’t Play Day Games (“Sun messes with the rhythm”)
