Here are the Week 1 power rankings for Circle City Wiffle. I’ve blended each team’s record, underlying offensive performance (OPS and runs created), and standing, then compared to the Pre‑Season order to show how much each squad moved:
1. Stampede (↑2, from 3→1)
Stampede absolutely dominated Week 1, going a perfect 4–0 while pacing the league in OPS (2.377) and churning out 139 runs created (34.8 per game). Their lineup didn’t just score—it crushed: 198 total bases, 28 homers, and drew 26 walks across four games. Offense aside, a spotless record cements them as the early class of the league.
2. Midcity Moonshots (↑2, from 4→2)
Moonshots proved their name was well‑earned, blitzing through a 2–0 start with a gaudy .716 OBP and 2.054 OPS. In just two games they piled up 95 total bases, socked 12 homers, and generated 68 runs (34 per game). They only need to keep that approach up to make a serious title run.
3. 8 Balls (↑2, from 5→3)
8 Balls went 2–1 against stiff competition and posted a robust 1.738 OPS, backed by 57 runs created (19 per game). They paired solid on‑base work (.573 OBP) with patience at the plate (16 walks) and found ways to grind out wins. They’re a well‑balanced club that can hang with anyone.
4. Yakkers (↑2, from 6→4)
Despite an 0–3 ledger, Yakkers’ bats came alive: they led all teams with a .639 OBP and piled up 79 runs created (26.3 per game) thanks to 125 total bases and 18 walks. If they can translate that firepower into a few victories, they’ll be a threat to everyone.
5. Hounds Wiffle Club (↓4, from 1→5)
Last season’s preseason favorite stumbled to a 1–3 mark, posting a middling 1.683 OPS and only 57 runs created across four games (14.3 per game). They showed flashes but too often left runners stranded (24 LOB per contest) and couldn’t string enough hits together to win.
6. Short Shorts (↓4, from 2→6)
Short Shorts had a rough Week 1, finishing 0–2 while generating just 20 runs (10 per game) and a .449 OBP. Their .939 slugging and 46 total bases weren’t enough to offset zero wins; they’ll need to find more consistent offense to avoid falling further.
