Seth Shail

A great two-way player, Seth Shail has been a fixture in New Carlisle wiffleball from its founding in 2005. As a youngster, Shail created multiple teams in the tournament's early days. In 2009, he teamed up with Allen Ament to form the Northsiders, advancing to the Elite Eight.

The following year, the duo created one of The Championship's perennial powerhouses, The Muffs. Although they have not made a Final Four appearance since their debut in 2010, The Muffs continue to be a title contender year in and year out.

Shail broke into the ORWBL with the Wills Township Federalists, playing for the back-to-back National League Champions in 2010 and 2011. He made a third consecutive trip to the World Series in 2012 with the Slugs.

Shail finally got his ring in 2014, anchoring the Newts pitching staff and leading New Carlisle to a World Series title.
