Jared Emmons

A true pioneer of the game, Jared Emmons is the co-founder of ORWBL, helping to establish New Carlisle's enduring wiffleball legacy.

While he is most known for his long, distinguished ORWBL career, Emmons has also made a few magical tournament runs at Hometown Days. He led the Pterodactyls to a runner-up finish in 2009. In 2012, half of his Taco Punchers roster failed to show up, forcing Emmons to cobble together a squad on site. The team would pull off a Cinderella run to The Wiffle®Ball Championship Game.

Emmons founded New Carlisle's American League franchise, the Pterodactyls, and led them to a World Series title in 2009. One of ORWBL's top pitchers, the southpaw took home Cy Young honors in 2007 and 2016.

A journeyman since he sold his franchise following the 2011 season, Emmons has been an ORWBL All-Star eight times (2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017).
