MLTT Team Feature: East Division’s Florida Crocs

(by Steve Hopkins)

The Florida Crocs are ready to snap in the 2025 Major League Table Tennis (MLTT) season.  Since their founding in 2023, the Crocs have been a force in MLTT’s East Division.  This year that division will include the New York Slice, Princeton Revolution, Carolina Gold Rush, and Atlanta Blazers.

Under the leadership of Coach Frank Arias (from the Dominican Republic), the Crocs are building their reputation. The 2025 roster includes Liam Pitchford from England, Daniel Gorak from Poland, a pair of Japanese players (Chihwei Yeh and Asuka Sakai), Peiyu Zhu from China, Marc Duran from Spain, Andy Pereira from Cuba, and Angel Naranjo from Puerto Rico.

The top pick in this year’s draft was Liam Pitchford.  The Crocs finished third in the Division in the first season, and were fourth a year ago.  But with players like Gorak and Pitchford onboard, expect to see the team competitive this year.

With MLTT’s new TV deal with CBS Sports, the league is reaching a broader audience.  This is the perfect time for the Crocs to make their move as the 2025 season starts this September.
