Ranked: The 20 'Hottest' Male Pickleball Pros

For an entirely subjective list that nobody asked for, Ranker has published a ranking of the most attractive male pickleball players, based on their "good looks and charm."

We don't condone objectifying athletes – pickleball or otherwise – based on their looks, but here we are. News is news – and today that means debating the facial features of Ben Johns vs. Christian Alshon vs. Mohanad Alhouni.

Sigh.

Here's how Ranker describes the scientific approach used to narrow a field of hundreds of male pickleball pros down to just 20:

Is this list based on "good looks" or "skills" on the court? I'm confused. And the headline says "players" but all the guys listed are active pros.

Anyway, Ranker lets you vote on your favorites, which can impact the list in real time. (For example, Ben Johns was listed at #1 when the article was published, but has since plummeted out of the top 10.)

Or, you can scan the 20 dudes author Raul Cortez randomly decided to highlight, below, before moving on with your day, absolutely none the wiser.

Now listen, are there some objectively handsome fellas who, in our humble opinion, are missing from this list? Respectfully, yes.

Are we going to further dignify this whole charade by naming names? We could be convinced...
