Patchwork Southwick is a pitcher for the Ohio Worms, and has been with the team since the Descension.

Official League Records

Southwick joined the ILB as a pitcher for the Ohio Worms during the Descension.

Southwick pitched their first playoff game in the Season 16 Division Series against the Houston Spies. In game four when the Spies were up 2-1 in the series, the Spies and the Worms both triggered Sun 2 by scoring 10 runs each which allowed the teams to gain a win. Southwick held the Spies to zero runs after Sun 2 granted the Spies their win and the Worms won the game with the final score of 1-0. Although the Spies technically reached three wins first, the series was tied 3-3 after the game. This allowed the Worms to play one more game in the series which they lost. Game four was notable for being the first playoff game in which both teams triggered Sun 2.

During the Season 16 elections, Southwick's pitching increased from 3.9 → 5.3 and defense decreased 4.2 → 4 as a result of the Worms' Transfuse will.

On Season 18, Day 12, Southwick pitched a record-breaking game for the longest game. It was 67 minutes and 53 seconds long, causing a spillover at the 60 minute mark and delaying the remaining games by an hour. It was against the Miami Dale.

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Patchwork Southwick is an inanimate object being possessed by a collective group of spirits. Southwick is the “name” of the collective, while Patchwork is an adjective both describing the body and the patchwork nature of a spirit collective. Southwick's pregame ritual of "blacking out" refers to the lack of manifestations in their primary pitching body, an otherwise inanimate scarecrow. When a game begins, the spirits possess the scarecrow body and begin to play.

While Southwick generally possesses this scarecrow body, they can also possess other objects such as dolls, stuffed animals, mannequins, and more. Other Worms players have come to suspect that "Southwick" is the name of the most dominant spirit, but there are times where other spirits take control - this would explain why Patchwork's pitching abilities can vary wildly from game to game.

Patchwork Southwick's spirit collective is a found family and not blood-related. When talking, Southwick has a strong Gaelic accent, but when they are feeling strong emotions their voice becomes a chorus of overlapping voices that can be incomprehensible, even to their close friends.
