The scene where the cops roll by the van driven by Kelly was shot on Balboa Blvd in Granada Hills, California. Good friends with Tanner Boyle, who carries the mantra "let's win one for the Looper" during the team's journey. Thus, he cannot join the team on their trip to Houston. Quinn Smith as Timmy Lupus, A shy, bedridden outfielder for the team who broke his leg while skateboarding and only appears early on in the film.A running joke is that he's always hit by a pitch whenever at bat. Wears glasses, he's mostly a benchwarmer. David Pollock as Rudi Stein, Nervous relief pitcher and backup outfielder.During his at-bat, the opposing team's 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). Brett Marx as Jimmy Feldman, Fairly quiet third baseman with curly blond hair.George Gonzales as Miguel Agilar, Jose's brother plays second base.Jaime Escobedo as Jose Agilar, Miguel's brother plays right field.Because of this, he is able to pull off the hidden ball trick in the final game. David Stambaugh as Toby Whitewood, An unassuming, intelligent boy who plays first base.
He's mostly a benchwarmer who assists the coach with defensive strategy. He gets information on the team's Houston rival, The Toros, from two girls who know the team.
Lutter as Alfred Ogilvie, A bookworm who memorizes baseball statistics and acts as the team's scout. With the help of Coach Leak, he finds his own style and shows improvement throughout the film. Brought to the team by friend Kelly Leak in the hopes of revitalizing the team.
Jimmy Baio as Carmen Ronzonni, Flashy starting pitcher from back east (presumably New York) who is more talk than action. He loves chocolate and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Jeffrey Louis Starr as Mike Engelberg, An overweight, out-of-shape boy who plays catcher and has developed into a good hitter. Idolizes Hank Aaron and wears number 44 in his honor. Worries a few times about the team going to “the joint” for having no adult with them. Erin Blunt as Ahmad Abdul-Rahim, A Black Muslim who plays center field.

Jackie Earle Haley as Kelly Leak, Local troublemaker who has matured since the first film. He's a good natured, blue-collar working man who agrees to coach the team. William Devane as Mike Leak, Coach of the Bears: Kelly's estranged father, whom he looks up in Houston. The Bears pull off an upset win and Kelly makes peace with his absentee father, telling him if the team didn’t need a coach he still would have looked him up. Coach Leak rallies the crowd with a “Let them play!" chant, which eventually persuades the venue to continue the game. The game gets called half way through, but Tanner refuses to leave the field. Kelly has a heart to heart with his father at a local restaurant and returns to the team before the game. The team soon becomes a more cohesive and athletic unit under Coach Leak's guidance. The Bears, as a whole, have trouble during practice Kelly becomes increasingly angry and resentful at his father before ultimately storming off, while pitcher Carmen Ronzonni has trouble finding his own unique style and resorts to imitating famous pitchers instead. In the process, Kelly Leak ( Jackie Earle Haley) reunites with his estranged father ( William Devane), who is recruited to coach them. Faced with a chance to play the Houston Toros for a shot at the Japanese champs, they devise a way to get to Houston to play at the famed Astrodome, between games of a Major League Baseball doubleheader. 
However, after winning this year, they are left reeling by the departure of Buttermaker as their coach, Amanda as their pitcher and an injury to outcast-turned-hero Timmy Lupus (Quinn Smith). This film picks up the Bears' career a year after their infamous second-place finish in the North Valley League.
