Sam Orlansky

San Diego native Sam Orlansky is a former master brewer, 4.0 pickleball player, and host of 44X20 Pickleball. His journey went from drinks to dinks, but what he found was much more than a game, he found a community.

Known for never holding back on the court, Sam is easy to spot by his signature Mouthpiece. Originally an inside joke with his cousin Adam, it has become a reminder to stay locked in, ignore the noise, and focus on what you can control. It's also a fitting symbol for someone who's never been afraid to speak his mind.

When he's not behind the microphone or on the court, you'll probably find him talking pickleball with anyone willing to listen. His mission is simple: celebrate the people who make this sport so special and build a community where everyone feels like they belong.
