Western WIFFLE Ball Classic brings top-shelf competition to Scottsdale Stadium

By Terrance Thornton | Digital Free Press

On Saturday, Oct. 29 at Scottsdale Stadium some of the best wiffle ball players in the continental United States will come to the Cactus League home of the San Francisco Giants.

The third annual Scottsdale Western WIFFLE Ball Classic is upon the Valley of the Sun — and arguably the world’s greatest wiffle ball player, Jordan Robles, will be competing for the Western WIFFLE Ball Classic championship this weekend.

Jordan, who hails from New York, is widely regarded as one of the fastest WIFFLE ball pitchers in the country, event promoters contend.

“I can’t wait to team up at the Big League WIFFLE Ball this weekend and compete against a ton of great west coast players,” he told the Arizona Digital Free Press. “Between the great weather and this incredible stadium, it should make for a fantastic tournament.”

Western WIFFLE Ball Classic officials report 20 teams are set and ready to go, but space is still available for a handful of more teams. The 2022 tournament will allow for up to 42 teams to enjoy a competitive championship tournament. All fields will be set up on Scottsdale Stadium’s main field, which is an arrow’s shot from Old Town Scottsdale.

Teams will be comprised of three to five players, each team guaranteed to play three games each. Games will last 35 minutes or 4 innings, whichever comes first. Then, 8 teams from each division advance to the playoffs.

Again this year the Home Run Derby Championship will return to this year’s tournament and will be active for the duration of the tournament. Each participant will have 7 outs to hit as many home runs as they can. The Home Run Derby champion will receive a trophy of their own.

16-year-old Logan Rose started and organized the tournament during the pandemic as a way to give wiffle ball fans a venue and tournament to play in and now the spectacle has blossomed into an annual event.
