The reading for Season 15 was titled FROM THE BRIDGE, DOWNSTREAM. In a surprise, the Season 14 champions, the Canada Moist Talkers, were drawn first, corresponding to V The Heirophant. Second was XIII, belonging to the Kansas City Breath Mints, who received the modification Middling for the remainder of Season 15. Finally, III The Empress was drawn for a second week in a row, corresponding to the Boston Flowers. The Flowers received the modification Afterparty, set on a weekly duration.

The Renovations available in Season 15 were mostly previously known, with a few new renovations. The notable renovation this season was Secret Base, which adds a secret base behind the second base. When a player arrives at the second base, they have a chance to enter the Secret Base, where they will remain even through the end of the inning. They will emerge later (while also, at times, simultaneously being at bat and in the secret base) to continue running the bases from second base.

Several Ballparks also added the Renovation Grind Rail, which allows a player a chance to steal third base while standing at first. When a player takes this chance, the Game Log will describe the skateboard tricks attempted by the player, assign each trick a score, and then the player will either fail their trick, successfully steal third base, or get tagged Out.

MVP Voting

See the main article on this topic: Idols

Following the Day 99 games, Boss introduced the MPVs for this season. Only three players were named as MVP this season:

• Nagomi Mcdaniel
• York Silk
• Chorby Soul

Mcdaniel and Silk received the modification Ego+++, while Soul received Ego+.

Notable Events

Further Disappearances

In Season 15, York Silk and Chorby Soul were resurrected following their incinerations in Season 14 and Season 3, respectively. As with previously resurrected players, these two players had a Debt modification. Unlike Jaylen Hotdogfingers, however, Silk and Soul did not inflict Unstable on their opponents. Instead, they marked their opponents with Observed, a modification last seen during the Coffee Cup, an exhibition tournament run between Season 11 and Season 12. Observed lasts until the end of the in-game week, or every nine games.

Once Silk or Soul marked opponents with Observed and those players played during games with Coffee 2 weather or Coffee 3s weather, there was a possibility that those Observed players would disappear from their team's rosters, receiving the modification Redacted. It is speculated that Observed players can be Redacted in Coffee weather (as distinct from Coffee 2 and Coffee 3s), but no such instance occurred in Season 15.

The players Redacted via this method in Season 15 include Wyatt Glover, Ren Hunter, Peanut Holloway, Liquid Friend, Chorby Short, Forrest Best, and Alx Keming.

The disappearances grew even stranger following the Season 15 Latesiesta where several teams in the league opted to build a Secret Base renovation in their Ballparks. On Day 75, Kurt Crueller was marked with Observed by Chorby Soul. A few games later, on Day 78, in a Philly Pies vs. Yellowstone Magic game, Crueller walked into the Secret Base in Yellowstone National (Ball)Park and received the modification Redacted. That same game, Crueller exited the Secret Base at Choux Stadium with the brand new modification Attractor, which reads "When this player scores a Run, they'll join the Lineup of the Team that scored them, if they're not already on their roster." Crueller's Soulscream had disappeared and their star ratings appeared been significantly boosted. However, Crueller's Player Attributes, which govern the star ratings, had not increased. Crueller did not score a run while on second base, and disappeared promptly after.

Several games later, on Day 94, one of the original Redacted players, Tad Seeth, walked out of the Secret Base at An Undisclosed Location, also with the modification Attractor, a missing Soulscream, and visually boosted star ratings (with unchanged Player Attributes). Seeth was not batted in and also disappeared again soon after.
