Dakota Albritton is a 2019 graduate of Schley County High School. We know him as Dakota, but he is better known as "Stilts" of the Savannah Bananas. His mother, Lisa, signed him up for a baseball/entertainment team. At the time he had been out of baseball for a couple of years. The tryout requested all that were interested to bring your craziest talents to the baseball field. He showed up to tryouts with stilts and Jesse Cole the owner asked can you hit a baseball on them. Dakota strapped on the stilts, and everyone got quiet. Despite being nervous, he made good contact and that is where it all started. He built a character and he took off with it not fearing what others might say but focusing on making memorable moments for his fans.
Being part of the Savannah Bananas has been 100% the best experience of his life. He loves creating the moments that bring smiles on faces all over the country. He has always had a very strong true passion for the game of baseball and being with the Bananas allows him to take all of those things that bring him so much joy and combine them into one character, Dakota "Stilts" Albritton, and get to play ball, make people happy, and showcase his talents.
Dakota is the son of Cecil & Lisa Albritton.
