Introducing the 2025 CCW All-Stars

INDIANAPOLIS --

The Circle City Wiffle 2025 All-Star Game is set to bring the heat — and a little flair — on Saturday, September 13 at 6 PM. This year’s league showcase will feature nine innings split between fast pitch and slow pitch, giving fans the full spectrum of what makes CCW special.

Adding to the drama, the league’s top two candidates, Reid Werner and Myc Witty, will serve as captains, drafting their teams live at the field before first pitch. And if that wasn’t enough, the night will also double as an awards ceremony, where the 2025 season’s MVP, Mike Speek Pitcher of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Yellow Slugger and more will be revealed.

This is the biggest stage CCW has to offer. Let’s meet the All-Stars who earned their place under the lights.

The Captains
Reid Werner - Werner was the definition of dependable dominance. Over 44 innings, he baffled hitters with a sharp 1.50 ERA, while piling up 112 strikeouts, second-most in the league. His stingy 0.68 WHIP proved just how tough he was to square up. And Werner wasn’t just a pitcher — his bat cracked the league’s top 10 as well. That balance made him a natural captain and one of the premier two-way players in Circle City.

Myc Witty - If Werner was the steady hand, Witty was the hammer. No pitcher in the league struck more fear into opponents. He led CCW in strikeouts (116), ERA (0.41), and WHIP (0.41), earning the top composite pitching rank. Witty’s ability to completely overwhelm hitters made him a nightmare every time he took the mound. Even if his bat lagged behind his arm, his sheer dominance as a pitcher earned him the captaincy.

The All-Stars
Brayden Scott - Every season has a pitcher who makes hitters wonder if the mound is even fair. This year, that was Scott. His 0.22 ERA was the lowest in the league, and he allowed fewer than a baserunner per inning. With 54 strikeouts in 27.2 innings, Scott carved through lineups and gave his team a chance to win every time out.

Brendan Dudas - No bat in the league loomed larger than Dudas’. He posted the top hitting composite score in CCW, making him the most dangerous offensive player in the league. Whether it was driving balls to the gap or grinding through at-bats, Dudas carried his lineup week after week. His dominance at the plate alone secured him a spot among the All-Stars.

Alex Gurtcheff - Gurtcheff’s season was all about versatility. Offensively, he ranked among the top three hitters in the league, showing the ability to deliver in key situations. On the mound, he wasn’t as sharp, but his willingness to take innings and keep his team afloat mattered. His bat was the star of his profile, and his two-way value made him an easy All-Star selection.

Aidan Palmer - Palmer quietly pieced together one of the most balanced campaigns in CCW. On the hill, he logged 30.1 innings with a 2.57 ERA and 62 strikeouts, proving to be one of the most reliable arms in the league. At the plate, he held a spot inside the top 15 hitters, making him one of the rare players who could hurt opponents from both sides.

Dustin Dowden - Dowden brought fire every time he stepped onto the field. He worked 26.1 innings with a 1.59 ERA and 56 strikeouts, numbers that ranked him among the league’s best pitchers. Though his offense was streaky, his competitive edge and ability to flip games with one swing or one pitch made him a fan favorite and a feared opponent.

Cody House - House made his All-Star case with his bat. Ranking just outside the top 10 hitters, he provided steady production and timely swings all season. Even without a big presence on the mound, his offense gave his team the edge they needed in close games.

Thomas Hopkins - Hopkins made his mark as a reliable hitter, finishing inside the league’s top 10 at the plate. His ability to extend innings and deliver in tough spots gave his team a dependable spark. Hopkins’ consistency carried weight in a league where every at-bat matters.

Mitch Buis - Buis’ season was a mix of grit and power. On the mound, he struck out 44 hitters in 18.2 innings, showcasing one of the better strikeout rates in the league. While his 4.18 ERA showed he battled, his competitive fire and knack for finding big outs made him invaluable to his club.

Holden Palmer - Holden wasn’t afraid of a challenge. He threw 18.1 innings, striking out 41 along the way, and showed flashes of dominance with a strong strikeout rate. Though his ERA sat higher than he’d like, his willingness to take tough assignments and keep his team in the fight earned him respect across the league.

Dalton Lewis - Lewis brought balance to the roster. He logged 12.1 innings with 18 strikeouts and chipped in offensively with a mid-tier hitting rank. He may not have had the flashiest numbers, but his steady contributions and two-way value gave him the nod as an All-Star.
