How old do you have to be to join MLW?

Reader question: I play a good game of wiffleball. How old do you have to be to join MLW? I really think I could be good. – J.R.

Matt Ceccucci MLW Response: There are no age requirements when it comes to Major League Wiffleball.

Back when the MLW-Cohoes League was formed, our youngest player, Matt Ceccucci (left), was 19. The majority of players were slightly older, in the 21-23 range. Ceccucci had very little baseball experience, and struck-out a lot at the beginning of the first season. However, he kept practicing, attended all the games, and at the end of the year was a much better hitter (and pitcher). He even won the Most Improved Player Award that season, AND the following season. Ceccucci’s game improved so much, there were times when players would joke that he was taking steroids.

So with wiffleball, it doesn’t matter how old or young you are. It’s all about having a good time, and keeping it fun for everyone.
