Biography

Nature of Being

While only a single player in the lineup, Leach Herman is actually a Symbiote between a leech and a Herman. Herman is an average Longhorn demon who is being Ratatouille'd by a leech under his blaseball cap to be a better-than-average pitcher.

It is unclear by what mechanism the leech is able to control Herman's actions – or how an organism with only a few nerve cells is able to take coaching, read signals, or understand the rules of the game – but in so doing, the leech has created a symbiotic relationship resulting in one of the better pitchers in blaseball.

History of Symbiosis

Although initially distressed by the blood-sucking parasite stuck to his scalp somehow manipulating his demonic body to perform feats of athletic ability, Herman has since come to view the situation as mutually beneficial, their relationship blossoming into a borderline-unhealthy co-dependency. Leach Herman (aka known as "Leach and Her Man" to fans) was named blaseball's hottest couple 3 years in a row by Glossip magazine.

Their impressive WHIP in season 3 was considered a massive success and accomplishment for the acceptance of Symbiote pitchers in Blaseball.
