 By Jorf Porsson It’s the kind of move that shakes a league to its core. The kind that rewrites history and makes legends--or villains—overnight. Myc Witty, the ace of the Hounds, the back-to-back Cy Wiffle winner, the architect of their dynasty, has left the reigning champs in the dust. And for what? A hundred bucks. Custom cleats. Control over the roster and jersey design. And the chance to write his own story. Brendan Dudas and the Short Shorts pulled off the biggest free-agent signing in league history on Day 1 of free agency, prying Witty away from the Hounds with an offer too good to refuse. The decision sent shockwaves through the Dirtyard and beyond. Watch Witty's decision reveal here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxmogrGFD4g A Move No One Saw Coming For weeks, it was all but certain—Witty was running it back with the Hounds. Why wouldn’t he? The team was built to three-peat. He was the unquestioned ace. The leader. The guy. A dynasty was forming, and Witty was the foundation. But then, an hour before his decision, everything changed. Witty spoke with his mom, likely looking for reassurance that sticking with the Hounds was the right move. Instead, she hit him with a truth bomb: Don’t throw away a better opportunity just because you're afraid of upsetting someone. And just like that, Myc Witty was gone. A Friendship in Ruins The man responsible for orchestrating this stunning move? Brendan Dudas. The Shorts’ GM. The CCW commissioner. A three-time MVP. And—until this moment—one of Hounds GM Dylan Jones’ closest friends. Dudas wasn’t just friendly with Jones. He was the best man at his wedding. Now? He’s the man who just stole his ace. Jones and Dudas have been aligned in CCW for years, both pillars of the league. But that relationship may never be the same. Dudas didn’t just poach a player. He ripped the heart out of the Hounds. The Shorts Were Done Being Complacent For the past few years, the Shorts have been good—consistently competitive, always in the mix. But good wasn’t enough. They were watching from the sidelines as the Hounds built a dynasty, winning back-to-back titles while the Shorts faded further from CCW’s center stage. Originally, Dudas had plans to run it back with much of last year’s roster. Consistency. Stability. A solid team. Then he tore those plans to shreds. Signing Witty wasn’t just about getting the best pitcher in the league—it was about making a statement. The Shorts are done being an afterthought. They aren’t here for fun. They aren’t here to just compete. They are coming for Dirtyard Classic title #2. Dudas & Witty: The Most Decorated Duo in CCW History Dudas didn’t just land a star—he formed the most feared duo CCW has ever seen. Brendan Dudas:
Dudas has long been one of the greatest hitters the game has ever seen. Witty has owned the league from the mound the last two years. Together? This isn’t just a duo. This is a superteam. The Shorts haven’t won a championship since 2015, and Dudas is going all in with the goal of ending that drought in 2025. The Hounds’ Dynasty is in Jeopardy Meanwhile, the Hounds have just suffered the biggest gut punch in CCW history. For two years, they ruled the league. For two years, they had the best pitcher leading the charge. Now, just like that, the foundation has crumbled. Can they recover? Or is this the end of the Hounds as we know them? One thing is for sure: when Witty and the Shorts step onto the field against his former team, it won’t just be a game. It’ll be war. A New Era Begins Years from now, CCW fans will look back at this moment as the turning point. Did Witty just make the smartest move in league history? Or did he just walk away from the greatest dynasty CCW was ever going to see? The pressure is on. The spotlight is blinding. And when Opening Day rolls around, all eyes will be on Witty and the Shorts. This is possibly the biggest moment in CCW history. And it’s only just beginning.
