Official League Records

Debut

Dovenpart joined the ILB as a pitcher for the Los Angeles Tacos with the Return of Blaseball, with the name Lee Davenport.

The Grand Unslam & Name Change

Dovenpart was the Tacos pitcher in the Season β3, Day 73 game against the Charleston Shoe Thieves known as the Grand Unslam.

After the Season 3 elections, Dovenpart was briefly known as Wyatt Mason due to The Wyatt Masoning. During The Unmasoning, Dovenpart's surname was misspelled by The Commissioner during repairs, and was written as Dovenpart instead of Davenport. They are one of two Tacos players who had their original name's spelling changed through The Unmasoning (the other being Sexton Wheerer). The cause of this error is believed to be carelessness on The Commissioner's part, even if The Commissioner is doing a great job.

Season 5

On Season β5, Day 82, in a game against the Houston Spies, Dovenpart was caught in a Reverb incident and switched positions from pitcher to lineup player.

Season 9

During the Season 9 elections, Dovenpart retreated to the Tacos' Shadows due to the Downsizing blessing.

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

Early Life and 2K Controversy

Wyatt Dovenpart (then Lee Davenport) was a baker before being consigned to the Blaseball league. They are most known for their outspoken opposition to the ILB 2K██ series of video games, as they have strong superstitions against their likeness being used in a simulation.

Dovenpart also criticized the accuracy of the game, saying they had brown hair that the game falsely depicted as red. However, fellow players and fans alike can confirm that Dovenpart has had red hair for as long as they've been in the league. When shown photo evidence of this fact, Dovenpart whispered something about "being replaced by their digital doppelgänger" and refused to give any further comment. They have not spoken a word since.

Background

Dovenpart worked at their personal community garden and bakery, and from this work became rather strong. Al Pastor, who frequented said bakery, noticed this, and while developing a team prior to the first season, asked Dovenpart if they would be interested in joining an up-and-coming Kickball league. While signing health papers to join his team, Dovenpart accidentally committed to a life of Blaseball, instead of Kickball.

The Grand Unslam

Dovenpart reportedly threw their secret ability pitch, The Gateway Ball, also known as the Quantum Curveball or The 502mph Ball, which invoked a 502 Bad Gateway event and led to an unplanned siesta. Fans have theorized that it was Dovenpart's digital doppelgänger who took advantage of the weakening system to attempt to open a rift and replace Dovenpart once and for all, or perhaps escape the simulation entirely, though these rumors are unconfirmed.

However, Dovenpart’s doppelgänger was spotted at a Taco shop by fellow Tacos player Patel Beyonce just a few days before the start of Season β4. After learning this, Dovenpart stated, "I would assume they are doing BAD things." It is unconfirmed what their doppelgänger was doing at the time.

The Many Faces of Wyatt Dovenpart

According to the Interdimensional Rumor Mill, some things never change, even across dimensions. Someone, somewhere, decided to catalog all the different versions of Wyatt Dovenpart in a Rumor Registry, but today the version from IF-502.34 is playing. Here’s what the rumors say...

Glitches

Al Pastor Memorial Stadium’s material form Corrupted, Dovenpart (then Davenport), on the mound for the Unslam, appears to have Corrupted with it. Although they maintain a level of material integrity, continuing to generally resemble a human, their entirety is rarely visible all at the same time.

Sections of their body appear to dull, darkening and generally losing all definable texture for periods ranging from a few seconds to multiple minutes at a time. Varying glitching appearances, namely where patches of their body transform into vibrant waves of interconnected colors, become blacked out and generally blurry, turn entirely invisible, or lose geometric details, have all been reported on different occasions. Their teammates have established that certain people witness different glitches at the same time, and that those present at the time of the Unslam see less glitches than others. Dovenpart themself likely sees the glitches, in their own unique, non-linear fashion.

Dovenpart also tends to glitch into past versions of themself, jumping back a few seconds at a time and having to repreform tasks. While Dovenpart has made no comment on their lack of material permanence, onlookers have stated that multiple versions of them periodically appear, having to strain their eyes to make out movements with the short lag between the Wyatt's actions. Objects also seem to pass through glitching sections of them, as stated by teammate Vito Kravitz: "That kid? Heh. They can hardly hold a wrench! It just keeps phasing through their hands. I'd rather work with that peanut kid than them some days!"

They are also known to emit a faint static, growing in volume as you get closer to them. It is theorized that the excess of sound is the reason for their lack of speaking, while others point to the Interviews for an answer. Another theory for this, as well as for their material errors, has to do with their digital doppelgänger, as their hair has alternated between levels of red and brown. While sustaining silence to the media since these events, fellow Tacos have explained that they slowly began to speak to close friends, where, among other things, they were able to the best of their understanding, explain the computer-esque glitching they undergo in short, frustrated segments.
