When you’re 17, you can come up with some pretty lofty ideas.
Case in point: Logan Rose, 17-year-old founder of Big League Wiffle Ball, has created a place for the humble ball to be, literally in the big leagues.
Rose started Big League Wiffle Ball with his friends during the pandemic. Six teams played games throughout the summer, and they had so much fun, Logan looked into starting the tournament.
The fourth annual Big League Wiffle Ball Championship tournament was held at Goodyear Ballpark Saturday, Oct. 21. The tournament has grown over four years and had some of the best wiffle ball players in the world come out to play this year.
According to Rose, 75 teams have played in the tournament over the past three years. This year, they had around 30 teams enter, and several came from out of state. Multiple wiffle ball national champions played in the tournament, and Rose also recruited the best player in the world, Jordan Robles, to come and play.
“This year, we have definitely the most competitive division we’ve ever seen,” Rose said in an interview before the tournament. “We have guys from, I think, six different states coming in…We’ve got former national champions coming back, and it’s just going to be insane the talent level in this year’s tournament.”
