The Bay Area Blasters plan to blast through the upcoming Major League Table Tennis (MLTT) season.  The Blasters have been a playoff team in each of the previous MLTT seasons.

The team is led by coach Tim Wang, a two-time Olympian and US champion.  The team has USA’s Lily Zhang, Elsayed Lashin of Egypt, Ma Jinbao and Ge Chi of China, Taehyun Kim and Baek Kwang-Il of Korea, Eric Jouti of Brazil, and Yan Cheng Huang of Taiwan.

The West Division features fierce competition from the Chicago Wind, Los Angeles Spinners, Texas Smash, and the Portland Paddlers.  With a great fan base in the Bay Area and the league’s profile growing, including a new contract with CBS Sports, the 2025 season promises to be the most exciting yet.
