Miami’s Billy the Marlin Named One of MLB’s Sexiest Mascots & Honestly… We Get It

July 13, 2025

Okay Miami, be honest—have you ever found yourself blushing at Billy the Marlin during a game? No judgment, because according to a new (and slightly unhinged) study by BetUS, our fave fishy icon has officially been named the 6th sexiest mascot in the MLB. Yes, sexy. Let that marinate.

The list ranks the top 15 “hottest mascots in baseball,” and somehow, Billy the Marlin flippered his way right into the top 10, beating out some serious competition (sorry, Mr. Met).

And tbh, we totally see the appeal.

Billy’s got that Miami charisma—always hyped, always glowing, always looking like he just left a Wynwood rooftop day party. Whether he’s launching T-shirts into the crowd like a cannonball of joy or dancing with kids behind home plate, Billy’s got main character energy all game long.

And let’s be real, that massive grin? The perfectly aerodynamic beak? The undeniable drip in those custom fits? It’s giving mascot with a gym membership and a good skincare routine.

So yeah, next time you’re catching a game at loanDepot park, just know—you’re in the presence of mascot royalty. Miami might be known for its beaches and nightlife, but don’t sleep on our iconic aquatic heartthrob.

Now excuse us while we design a “Billy is Bae” shirt for Hot Mascot Summer. 🐟💅🔥
