Wiffle in Southeast Michigan is a fast-pitch, base running wiffleball league that also hosts a number of tournaments during the warmer months of the year. Our pitchers' mound is set 45' from the strike zone [which is 30" high x 22" wide] inside a 5' radius "pitchers' poison" circle for force outs. 3 defenders play behind the pitcher and can record outs by tagging a base or runner, catching the ball in the air, throwing to the pitchers' poison, or pegging a runner between 3rd and home. Base paths are 45' to every base. We use a 5-ball, 2-strike count to keep batters engaged and swinging in an attempt to prevent the ability to sit on an easy "hitter's pitch" and the slow-pitch softball hitting derby scenarios that would ensue. We like our game as much like baseball as we can make it. So, we skew our rules accordingly. We like good pitching. We like exciting plays, good competition, small-ball, manufacturing and earning runs, and spectacular defensive effort. We still get our fair share of light-tower bombs, and everyone loves that!
You can read more in depth and about all the little specific details on our Rules and Regulations page.
