Wes Ellis

A career defined by winning, Wes Ellis has been the star for three different teams in his career. After emerging on the scene with the now defunct Banana Slugs, Ellis has reached the pinnacle of the wiffle world with the Cult West Warriors and has established his ORWBL legacy with the Maple City Magic.

Ellis first found Migley Field in 2013 with the Magic, but his greatest success came after being picked up by then two-time defending champions Cult West in 2015. He was on board for two Cup wins with the Warriors in 2015 and 2017.

In ORWBL, Ellis is a seven-time All-Star (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018) and was named the league's Most Valuable Player in 2012 for the Slugs.

He led the Magic to four consecutive World Series titles (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020), a run that included being named 2018 World Series Co-MVP. He won back-to-back Cy Young awards in 2017 and 2018.
