Ariel Cohen, Tout Wars Head-to-Head Champ 2025

He didn’t have the best regular season record. He finished third. He also scored the third most points going into the playoffs, and his opponents scored fewer points against him than any other team in the Tout H2H league. But when the playoff smoke cleared, Ariel Cohen was the champion.

First, he edged Ryan Hallam, 383 to 369.5 in the first playoff round.

Next, he creamed Chris Torres, the second-seeded team coming off a bye, 382 to 326, the playoff’s second round.

Finally, facing the number five seed, Clay Link, Cohen put up the highest score of the playoff and breezed to victory, 446 to 308.

The 2025 H2H title is Cohen’s second. He won in a closely fought match with Ian Kahn in 2020 as well, and he is justifiably proud to have made the playoffs in each of his six years in Tout.

Here’s his roster the last week:

We Have a Tout Wars Head-to-Head Champion

All season long two teams hung out at the top of the Tout Wars Head-to-Head standings. Lauren Auerbach and Sky Dombroske survived the playoff process and faced off last week in this year’s finals.

In the semi-final week, Auerbach topped Dombroske, 449 to 376.5. But that just got them to the finals. And now we crown a champion.

Sky Dombroske is the Tout Wars Head-to-Head champion for 2024! He’ll get to choose the scoring system for the league in 2025.

Dombroske’s team the final week was led by Yordan Alvarez, Jose Ramirez, and Blake Snell.

Here are the complete playoff results. Lauren and Sky drew byes for round 1.

We Have Winners! Frank Stampfl Wins Tout Wars Head to Head Again!

Make it two years in a row. Frank Stampfl, the H2H champ in 2021, caught up to Greg Jewett at the wire to win the H2H finals this year. He will no doubt choose to play with the CBS Sports scoring system again in 2023.

Tout Head to Head, the Playoffs are Set

The regular season is over.

The final regular season standings

Clay Link edged 2021 champ Frank Stampfl for first place in a tight race, with both teams earning a first-round bye.

Greg Jewett wins the tiebreaker for the sixth and final playoff spot over Geoff Pontes. He’ll face 2020 champ Ariel Cohen in the first round.

In the other opening week game, fourth-place finisher Ryan Hallam will face Paul Sporer, who finished fifth.

Next week Link will face the winning team this week with the worse record, while Stampfl will face the team with the better record.

Tout Wars Weekend is Coming! Here’s how to follow all the drafts.

For the third year in a row the Touts are gathering for a virtual Tout Weekend. No party at Foleys, no hanging out at the Stewart Hotel and SiriusXM talking baseball with friends. No intense, fast-paced in-person auctions led by savvy auctioneers pushing the pace ever forward.

For the third year in a row the Touts will be gathering in a draft room at Fantrax, some of them connected on a Zoom call, putting their teams together from the four corners of the US, from Florida to Hawaii, from Maine to the Columbia Valley.
