Wiffle ball league changing the game

A local teenager creates an evolving professional league

Based in Scottsdale, Ariz., Big League Wiffle Ball is a professional wiffle ball league. BLW, which was first formed in 2019, began its first official season with four teams in the midst of the COVID-19 epidemic. The following fall, BLW revealed the Western Wiffle Ball Classic, a brand-new wiffle ball competition that would be held at Scottsdale Stadium. More than 100 teams from all around the United States have competed in the competition since it began. The BLW league continued to grow, reaching six teams in 2021.

Logan Rose, the son of Jordan Rose, the founder and president of Rose Law Group, founded Big League Wiffle Ball in 2020 at the age of 13.

“This group was founded in 2020, immediately following the pandemic,” said Rose. “I had nothing to do and was bored. One day, while playing in the backyard with a few friends, I had the idea to organize a league. We had four teams made up of neighbors, friends, and relatives, and it was a blast. The league evolved over time.”
