| Mike Engelberg | Jeffrey Louis Starr | An overweight, out-of-shape boy who plays catcher and loves chocolate and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Wears the number 15. |
| Jimmy Feldman | Brett Marx | Fairly quiet third baseman with curly blond hair. During his at-bat, the catcher says, "You got one of the Marx Brothers up here" (An inside joke, as Brett Marx is a grandson of Milton "Gummo" Marx and a great-nephew to the other Marx Brothers). Wears the number 8. |
| Kelly Leak | Jackie Earle Haley | Local troublemaker who has matured since the first film. The Bears' leader (and presumably, the oldest) he drives the van that brings the team to Houston. He plays left field. Wears the number 3. |
| Timmy Lupus | Quinn Smith | A shy, bedridden infielder for the team who broke his leg while skateboarding and only appears early on in the film. Thus, he cannot join the team on their trip to Houston. Good friends with Tanner Boyle, who carries the mantra "let's win one for the Looper" during the team's journey. |
| Alfred Ogilvie | Alfred W. Lutter | A bookworm who memorizes baseball statistics and acts as the team's scout. He gets information on the team's Houston rival, The Toros, from two girls who know the team. He's mostly a benchwarmer who assists the coach with defensive strategy. A backup outfielder/first baseman. Wears the number 9. |
| Carmen Ronzonni | Jimmy Baio | Flashy starting pitcher from back east (presumably New York) who is more talk than action. Brought to the team by friend Kelly Leak in the hopes of revitalizing the team. With the help of Coach Leak, he finds his own style and shows improvement throughout the film. Wears the number 11. |
| Rudi Stein | David Pollock | Nervous relief pitcher with glasses who always gets hit by a pitch; mostly a benchwarmer, he's also a backup outfielder. Wears the number 10. |
| Toby Whitewood | David Stambaugh | An unassuming boy who plays first base. Because of this, he is able to pull off the hidden ball trick in the final game. Wears the number 2. |

Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“Forgetting: that is a divine capacity. And whoever aspires to the heights and wants to fly must cast off much that is heavy and make himself light—I call it a divine capacity for lightness.”

“we cast the vessel ashore
On the Gulliby Isles where the Pooh-pooh smiles,
And the Rumbletum bunders roar.”

“All deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea; while the wildest winds of heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the treacherous, slavish shore.”
