Best players ever, best teams ever, best ending ever, best series ever, best season ever. This is MLW at its absolute peak. Every time we think it can't get any better they manage to top themselves. Hats off to not only the players but Kyle and Tommy and the rest of the "brain trust" for making the production value and just overall enjoyment of this league absolutely sky-high. Y'all are killing the game!
At first I was shocked Schema was the hero. But after thinking about it, he had to be. With so many intentional walks, one of the non-stars were destined to walk away with a big moment.
Yeah the only way Knorp was playing hero was if Heath and Schema both walked after a Knorp intentional walk which would leave no choice but to face Knorp with the bases loaded
Although if you really think about it Knorp was kind of the unsung hero, scoring from second if he wasn't so fast he would have been out at the plate, and if he wasn't an agressive base runner he may have stopped at third knowing Kyle would have had to pitch to him as the bases would have been loaded
Dude how ironic is it that the Diamondbacks won their first world series with a walk off bloop single off the heel of the bat, just over the infield. Schema channeling his inner Luis Gonzalez. Edit: Also, the MLB Diamondbacks also won their World Series only a few years after entering the league as well. The parallels are kinda stunning lol.
I would be heartbroken if I were the Wildcats, and you can tell how much they put into the season it has literally been going on since April and takes so much commitment,Pearson was literally crying in the interview and when he was walking off the field
Love the passion from Pearson and the cats, shows how tight they are with each other, and I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire series. Well done boys.
He probably felt bad because he had swung at low pitches for the final out in both of the extra innings included with the bases loaded in the 5th and that was after being caught looking at strike three for the final out in the 1st and 2nd innings
I feel so bad for Pearson. You can tell he was mad at himself. At least that will motivate him to work hard in the offseason but, LETS GO DBACKSSSSS! JIMMY MVP
Pearson will be just fine he’s a great player pressure got to him, and like many MLW players before him we know much a player can improve in just one year…he’s got playoff and World Series experience now too
I’m biased, but what an incredible World Series! Two great teams and two great groups of guys. This has been so much fun to watch. Can’t wait for next year!
Seeing this in 2024 as a D-backs fan myself. This world series no doubt one of the most hard fought world series in mlw history. Possibly the best world series's in league history as well. 2021 even being my first year watching the league was such an amazing year for the league! So glad i made a wiffle league of own thanks to this league. GO D-BACKS!!
Wow. Probably the greatest series in MLW history. I think what makes this league great and puts it in its own conversation of wiffle ball leagues, is the heart that goes into it. Take Pearson for example, you can see how much he was hurt by the outcome and that’s definitely something to take note of, kid played hard but things just didn’t go in his favor. Kyle and Saylor are the two best hitters in the league IMO and this game just proves wiffleball is just as much of a defensive sport as it is offensive. Shoutout both teams for what is in my book the best series in the leagues history. Coughlin also deserves some recognition, dude called every one of those games like a pro and kept us all engaged throughout every AB. Cats will be back, but congrats to the Dbacks for getting their much deserved first WS ring and shoutout to the knorpchise for a legendary MVP season.
Series seemed to get a little heated. Knorp clearly unhappy with the intentional walks towards the end. Love to see some fire on both sides. Phenomenal series, extremely entertaining.
The IW takes away from the game IMO. Especially considering it’s just backyard wiffle ball with friends. It shouldn’t be completely done away with but they should set a limit per game or series .
Commenting before the game starts. This has been a hell of a series, can see it going either way. So glad i found this channel and already cant wait for the 2022 season!!
What a great call by Tommy. You knew Kyle wanted it bad when he tried that bush league move running into Jimmy in his first Ab. What an incredible series. Congrats to the Dbacks!!
What a series. Saylor is def my favorite player- always a great attitude, great teammate, great competitor. Sucked to see Pearson struggle at the end of the series but he really is a great hitter as well. He just needs to shorten up that swing a lot when he’s in the slump. Was awesome to see Schema with the walkoff as well- he’s also a great teammate and very underrated. Glad to see him shut up Tommy’s little dig at him lol.
My son and I were rooting hard for the Diamondbacks. When Saylor hit the HR in the first we were in disbelief (Thought Dbacks would win in 3-4) and I was like "Man I HATE Nick Saylor." lol. But that's really just respect, he had an amazing season and they almost stole it. If he had pitched game 5 they may have won 1-0
Life long Cats fan, hats off to the D Backs. Credit where it’s due, tremendous team. Knorp has the title to cement himself among one of the best of all time. Crazy that he’s only in his second year. Scary team moving forward. Gotta be the best series we’ve ever seen. Great defense, great hitting, and the best part is as the chess match we saw.
Never thought I’d be so stressed in a Wiffle ball game. Definitely the best World Series and season by far. Sad the cats lost but huge props to the dbacks, congrats
This was WAY more exciting and emotional than any MLB World Series! It has been an absolute joy following this all season. Everything from Tommy's expert commentary to Kyle's dedication to the league, to Knorp's MVP season, and to all the players for showing up week after week, it was just amazing.
The hitting in this series was great, but the thing that stood out the most was how good each team was defensively. Best defence I have seen in a series ever.
What a series man!! Holy crap! I, a 25 year old man, can’t wait to show my dad tomorrow who’s a 56 year old man 😂 Been watching y’all since we ALL were young, so happy to see what this has become. What an incredible series this was, and so, so well put together. The music the editing, all of it. Thank you guys.
I started following MLW a year ago and watched that 2014 Giants-esque world series run last year by the Gators and didn't really know how special that was. This year after following it the entire year, I am absolutely stunned by how much this league has grown on me. Jimmy is my guy and the Dbacks are my team. I was following them the entire year like they were my Steelers or Pens and you could catch me screaming when they win games! The way you guys have grown this league, being in your early twenties, late teens... It's incredible man. I love seeing these grass roots groups pop up and you can bet your money I'll be following this league until I die! PS I told myself if we won (Dbacks) I'd get a Jimmy Knorp shirt... Welp here we go.
This channel has been the best thing I've found this year. Picked D-Backs after that first dominant game and rode the wave since. Insane World Series. D-BACK NATION!! 🐍🐍
For something built organically with a bunch of friends, the product you put out is outstanding. The excitement of each pitch had me at the edge of my seat. Thank you for such entertaining content, I can't wait for next season!
As a self-proclaimed MLW Analyst, here are my thoughts on Game 5; -Insane. The wild ending, honestly couldn't think of a better series in general. Amazing editing, amazing wiffleball, amazing project well done Kyle. -On Game 4, I commented and said that the deciding factor for Game 5 will be the captains. Whichever captain could out-hustle the other, would end up winning. Well, the Cats found a way around that in walking Knorp it felt like 75% of the time. And yeah, it worked. -It's fun to think about these teams without their managers and where they would be. Off that, it turned out that which TEAM played better won. Not the best captain. MLW is born off teamwork and working towards a goal, and the Dbacks did just that. -BUT, I do have something to say about what Jimmy Knorp said at the end of the video in their interview. Calling this 2021 Diamondbacks team the 'Best MLW Team in History' I think should not have been said. They have won one world series. If Jimmy rides this kind of high horse into the next season, it honestly might come around and bite him. Look out for the Magic, Gators, Wildcats, and yes, Diamondbacks.
You’re last bit is a miss analysis…he’s referring to the best team as in best team in a single season which is very just….the MLW is stronger than ever you can see this from old time teams getting crushed over recent years like the Cobras who haven’t looked good since the expansion, yet the diamondbacks had one of the most dominant years with competition being closer than ever
I was with you until the last part. Knorpe's gotta be true to himself, I don't know if the team is the best but he had the best season in MLW history and was being gracious by including the team.
Seeing a young guy like jaxen have to fight crying after losing shows the league does matter to them. It was a cool concept to have a wiffleball league, but what they've done is beyond incredible. Good job everyone in the series because it deserved to go both ways
This was my first full MLW season and God I love all y'all. Thank all of you for giving me something to look forward to on Fridays. Congrats DBACKS! (go preds)
World Series Game 5 was everything I wanted it to be. Let's give major props to every player, all the camera shots, the video-editing, the social media team, the graphic designer, the stat compilers and everyone who helps make this a great production. First year of watching and I wish I knew of MLW sooner. Will be watching every season from now on. Definitely going back to watch old ones.
Congrats to everyone that makes this channel happen! An amazing year! Tommy such great announcing this series! Kyle and all those behind the scenes, thanks for organizing and making this happen!
I love the reactions of the players during the "little guy" moment at 15:11. It shows they're all still friends playing a game and having a great time doing it.
Love the passion seen by everyone, shows these guy really care about this. It’s becoming so much more than just them messing around in a park! I love it, congrats Dbacks and congrats Wildcats what a series! Also, would love to see the intentional walk taken away, just not enough hitters to make it that entertaining
I just discovered this league, and I am in love with the competitiveness and quality of it. As I watched each game I got quite excited about the Diamondbacks players. Without a doubt I have become a fan, I will not miss any season from now on❤️👍🏼
I just legit started watching every game this year and just picked a team which happened to be the diamondbacks. I did not think this would be the result. Let’s go d-backs
Jimmy Knorp is a generational talent. Pitching, hitting and fielding has been on display all year and this series has been a masterclass from him. Can't wait to watch this kid for years to come.
Wow! Great job diamond backs on the World Series victory. I have been watching you guys for years now and still tune in every few weeks when you post a new video. Me and some of my friends are trying to start a whiffle ball/blitzball channel but I don't know what camera or editing software to use and wanted to ask if you guys could tell me what you guys use. I would love the help! Congrats again D Backs!
Awesome WS guys, best ever!!! Great job Tommy, all you guys on cameras and in production did a fantastic job. I am a fan of MLW, I honestly don't have a favorite team, just enjoy watching you guys and the entertainment factor is phenomenal, I've turned my buddies onto this league...hopefully I can come to watch a series next year if that's allowed. lol. Congratz DTD!!!!
Pearson was the last out in the 3rd 4th and 5th for the Cats. All times there was a runner on. Had he hit, the Wildcats could've won it all. Happy for Knorp though and hopes for Jax. And then Schema, of all people, take an up and in pitch the other way for the walk-off in Game 5. The best series of all time. "Shoulda walked me" shall be remembered forever. #GetKnorped
All I have to say is what an amazing job by the two best teams in the MLW this year. Congrats to both teams for making it so far. I also just wanted to comment how awesome this is. This should absolutely be on live television. Sometimes you can't even get the effort out of professional ball players and these guys give 110 percent! Great job MLW
Love both of these teams. That being said I feel like intentional walks in this league have to be looked at. I respect the strategy of it. This was a great game. I just hate seeing the bat taken out of guys like Knorp or Saylor’s hands. I think it at least deserves a discussion going into next season
Amazing performance by both teams. Hats off to the D-Backs on a great season, and props to the wildcats for a hard fought series against arguably one of the greatest teams in MLW history. Keep your head up Pearson, keep your head up. You and your team fought hard and played lights out defensively to the last play of the game. I know it wasn’t the outcome you wanted, but like Kyle said, you’ll be back. A team with as much chemistry as the wildcats have will continue to see many World Series’ to come. Well played to you all
Need to do something about intentional walks imo. I understand you want to keep the rules as similar to baseball as possible, but it's just different in wiffleball with such a small lineup card. It may be strategic, but it also diminishes the quality of the product for the viewer. Knorp needs to be able to hit. Some quick ideas: - Limit 1 intentional walk per frame (there's almost no chance of double plays with the shortened basepaths, so this would guarantee 1 plate appearance for the hitter. What I would personally do.) - No intentional walks (The most extreme) - Intentional walk = 2 bags (Limits use cases) - No intentional walks if there's a runner on base (Limits use cases)
The intentional walk isn't something that can be legislated out. There's no way you can prevent someone from simply tossing 4 unhittable, way-outside pitches to a guy they want to walk. Literally the only difference between MLW and pro baseball in that regard is the MLB forces the catcher to actually step off the plate and not drop four balls, as opposed to the head nod (and no catcher to let through a passed ball). They don't show us the full at bat anyways, so there's really no need for anything but a decision and a hand gesture in MLW.
Let’s go D-Backs!! This has been a great year all around. First time for me following the season with each weeks videos. Jimmy Knorp quickly became my favorite and hands down the top player this year. This content is the most raw and real production I see these days, and I’m thankful every week. Cheers to the season! Well done 👍🏼
@@flyers1711 this may be true but I will say this...Nick Saylor has Jimmy’s number. the only guy consistently crushing Knorp’s pitches. Crazy good series!
@@TheGmills4411 nick is in my opinion the second best player in the league total beast I just think jimmy is a lil more well rounded in his overall game fielding pitching hitting
Hey MLW! I've watched and rewatched every MLW game from the past few seasons and noticed one big thing missing: Highlight Videos. I was wondering if I would be able to begin making these on a channel dedicated exactly for that? I'm going to start working on it right now, but if you guys in the organization don't want me to I will take it down immidiately. I just think this will be a great thing for the fans of MLW, and a hobby for me to do off to the side. Not to mention, it might even help spread MLW around even more? Please reply if at all possible, and I can definitely give you the channel link if you want!
I'm genuinely in tears and only half cuz I'm drunk. Couldn't have been any better dudes. Jimmy and his squad just seem like the best. Super happy for y'all. Congrats on the big w
Next year you should look at implementing a rule of a maximum 1 or 2 IBB to a particular player. The lineup is only 3 people, keep the bats in their hands as much as possible. Great world series. I think the D-Backs were the first game of the season and you could tell then they had what it took to win it all.
By far the greatest series I've watched on this channel. The competition was off the charts. Hats off the Heath and Schema coming through in the end when the Wildcats wanted absolutely nothing to do with Knorp. Gutted for Pearson though. Everyone who has played sports has been there and it really is a punch right to the gut. He'll bounce back though. Thanks for an amazing season boys! Already looking forward to next season!
Pearson gotta improve on hitting. His back foot moves all the time when he swings. Strikes him out everytime. He went 0-7. But either way, in the 6 years I've been subscribed and watched, this was a top tier series. Barely tops my Mallards MLW WS win.
Is this not the best thing ever? All of these dedicated guys putting everything on the line to try to win the World Series. Great gameplay, great editing, gonna miss my Friday ritual for the next 6 months
What a series! One suggestion I’d have as a rule change is limiting intentional walks. We saw it a lot this series as well as last years WS. With only 3/4 hitters it really impacts team. Don’t take it away but limit it to 2 or 3 a game.
This has made me a fan for life. I was in the wildcats shoes yesterday. Threw a 2 hit complete game in game 5 of my adult wood bat league championship and lost 1-0. I gave up a homer on a terrible fastball in bottom of the 5th and it was the difference in a 7 inning game. Awesome to see both teams fighting so hard
Congratulations on a great season gents. Could tell by the reactions at the end that this league means more to you all than ever. Best play this season I've seen since I started watching in '19. Only direction for you now is up.
Been a D-Backs fan since day 1, and today I’ve been rewarded for that loyalty. A WS win is only as good as your opponent, and the Wildcats had a stellar year, couldn’t ask for a better opponent or series. D-BACKS 2021 CHAMPS LETS GOOOOOOO
So this was my first full season as a viewer and just wow - what a surprise and what a season I was treated to. These kids are an absolute inspiration. The commentary by Kyle and Tommy was awesome all year, the production top-notch, and the wiffle ball play was unbelievable - ample evidence that this league and channel are in good hands. Pearson looked pretty shook up there at the end - he did not have a good game but he had a lot of heart which, at the end of the day, is what this league is all about. Hold your heads high, Wildcat players and fans - it was another unbelievable season for you - you didn't win it all but you should be proud nonetheless. But for now we get to celebrate another team who absolutely deserved the title and whose victory will likely bolster the league even more - the DIAMONDBACKS. GET KNORPED, y'all. 😁 But yeah, phenomenal season, boys. I'm going to miss these Friday vids - spring training can't start soon enough and I ain't talking about the MLB. I'm talking about the M. L. W. Thanks for a great season. 🙌
I never imagined I'd get this into MLW, but here we are. I've been casually watching since 2015 but never truly got into it until this season. Heartbroken to see the Cats lose, but I believe they'll be back next year.
Best series in history. Tommy killed it with commentating. All around fantastic production. Congrats D backs, be proud. Wildcats too, put up a hell of a fight. We're gonna need a documentary on this one 🙏🙏
I subbed at the end of 2020 and this is awesome first full year of watching y’all. When Friday comes I’m ready to go home and watch a MLW series. You guys are awesome keep it up.
what a game. what a series. what a season. this was an instant classic game and one of the best ever. Schema coming up with the walk-off is a testament to the insane talent depth of this league. watching Jimmy and Kyle probably the two faces of the league battle it out for the world series is legendary. i thought the wildcats were the better team but the d-backs came up big when they had to and pulled out two extra-inning wins. this was maybe the best season ever with all the competition. the league was so balanced it felt like everyone had a real chance of winning the title down the stretch of the season (except the Mallards lol). It definitely came down to the best two teams and we got the series we dreamed of. Gators 2022! Thank you Kyle for commissioning and producing another wonderful season of MLW, you brought me and the rest of the MLW community so many great moments.
I loved this year's world series. It was everything you want in a heavyweight fight. Comebacks. Amazing defense. Heart from both teams who left their blood and guts on the field. I only wish MLB could regain this type of excitement. Keep it going boys, this is where it's at. can't wait for MLW in 22.
What an amazing league to have found at the beginning of this year. Huge thanks to you guys over at MLW for doing this for so long, it's an awesome sport to watch. Can't wait for 2022!
A quick appreciation post for Kyle.. man I was rooting for the Dbacks all year but couldn’t help but feel sad for seeing you and the boys going down again. But man you’re a champion this year and every year. The content you released every Friday gave me something to look forward to every single week after my shitty 9-5 job. You’re amazing man and I couldn’t be more grateful witnessing this league at its finest for the last 3 years. What an amazing year it was and I can’t wait for it all again next year. Thank YOU Kyle.
Congratulations to the Downtown Diamondbacks, and a well played series by the Western Wildcats. I really appreciate how everyone puts their 100% into every game of the season and playoffs. I’m really glad the MLW was started. I would have never been so interested and excited in wiffle ball if it weren’t for this league. Thank you to every team and a job well done by everyone involved. Can’t wait for next season!
I feel like Jimmy is usually the one to get that big hit that makes all the difference, but this one was different. What a great series and season as a whole. Can't wait for next year!
All I can say is thank you and congratulations to Kyle and Tommy for putting together such an incredible season. It's amazing that they've been able to turn backyard wiffle ball with a few friends into my favorite sports watch anywhere. Can't wait until next year.
What a series! What a year! 2021 will undoubtedly be a year that will never be forgotten in MLW. Congrats to the champs and all that participated in making this year as great as it was. And as always, shoutout to Kyle for producing such a quality product every week, we’ll all be looking forward to next year!
I can't believe the season is over. Can't wait until next year to see these guys compete every week. Congrats to the Dbacks for winning the championship. Props to everybody that's apart of the MLW and to all the time and effort all these guys put in.
Watch every episode the day it came out. Watched them when I fought Covid and let me tell you, I spent more time watching this channel than watching my Pittsburgh Pirates lol. Keep up the great work on your end. You have a lot of viewers in our area. Be blessed and congrats to both teams for the series.
What an insane series and hats off to both teams. I loved seeing the emotion and passion from everyone, really made this an intense and memorable WS, hands down the greatest in MLW history
Started following y’all on opening day. Instantly gravitated towards Jimmy and the D Backs during week 2 bc of his wind up, goofy swing, and just overall demeanor. Could tell the dude was a baller. So glad to see him and my squad win it. Dream season for him and the team. Clear MVP, with the home run derby winner (in a landslide), and their third main player hitting a walk off in extras. I love it.
Excellent group of friends, it's awesome to see the emotion at the end of a hard run but these guys play with heart and are making memories for a lifetime.
Greatest MLW World Series ever?!?!?
What a game extra innings insane 🍾
@UCWT_NnMDXifO6ONjhX-Xjsg facts let’s go preds

What a great series congrats d backs

Tommy Coughlin has done an amazing job with the calls for the World Series hell of a job! Everybody clap it up for him
👏👏👏👏
Yes he did.....awesome job
Yea up until he called Schema “little guy” before he ended the 2021 season.
Best MLW play by play guy no doubt
👏
Clean sweep by the D-Backs this year. Heath with the HR Derby, Jimmy with the MVP, and Schema with the walk off in the World Series. What a season
Not to mention NL breaking the streak and winning the all star game
And never losing a series, a literal clean sweep.

Agree💯
Pearson had plenty of chances as well.
Biggest difference in the series was Schema out playing Pearson. The studs cancelled themselves out.
100%
Dude how ironic is it that the Diamondbacks won their first world series with a walk off bloop single off the heel of the bat, just over the infield. Schema channeling his inner Luis Gonzalez.
Edit: Also, the MLB Diamondbacks also won their World Series only a few years after entering the league as well. The parallels are kinda stunning lol.
That was the only World Series for that D-Backs team. Hope this time it is different.
Also, the wildcats are essentially the yankees of MLW
and also this series went to the maximum of games
Good call
As soon as I saw the ball come off the bat my first thought was Luis Gonzalez!!!! Unbelievable!!! Let’s go D-Backs
I would be heartbroken if I were the Wildcats, and you can tell how much they put into the season it has literally been going on since April and takes so much commitment,Pearson was literally crying in the interview and when he was walking off the field

He probably felt bad because he had swung at low pitches for the final out in both of the extra innings included with the bases loaded in the 5th and that was after being caught looking at strike three for the final out in the 1st and 2nd innings
Toilet seat, of course.

He’s also a rookie
im a wildcats fan and im ngl when pearson whent up i was scared
He'll be back.
@@bannanadude4017 I'm a Wildcat fan too and Pearson was a damn automatic out every AB. It was really bad
Pearson will be just fine he’s a great player pressure got to him, and like many MLW players before him we know much a player can improve in just one year…he’s got playoff and World Series experience now too
Pearson showing his emotions shows how great this season was, and how incredible this league is. This is THE LEAGUE for wiffle ball.
I’m biased, but what an incredible World Series! Two great teams and two great groups of guys. This has been so much fun to watch. Can’t wait for next year!
Damn wassup w Alex knorp 😏
Are u knorps wife?
Seeing this in 2024 as a D-backs fan myself. This world series no doubt one of the most hard fought world series in mlw history. Possibly the best world series's in league history as well. 2021 even being my first year watching the league was such an amazing year for the league! So glad i made a wiffle league of own thanks to this league. GO D-BACKS!!
Wow. Probably the greatest series in MLW history. I think what makes this league great and puts it in its own conversation of wiffle ball leagues, is the heart that goes into it. Take Pearson for example, you can see how much he was hurt by the outcome and that’s definitely something to take note of, kid played hard but things just didn’t go in his favor. Kyle and Saylor are the two best hitters in the league IMO and this game just proves wiffleball is just as much of a defensive sport as it is offensive. Shoutout both teams for what is in my book the best series in the leagues history. Coughlin also deserves some recognition, dude called every one of those games like a pro and kept us all engaged throughout every AB. Cats will be back, but congrats to the Dbacks for getting their much deserved first WS ring and shoutout to the knorpchise for a legendary MVP season.
Series seemed to get a little heated. Knorp clearly unhappy with the intentional walks towards the end. Love to see some fire on both sides. Phenomenal series, extremely entertaining.
Sort of bummed to see this. More fun just watching friends play whiffle ball
He shouldn’t be mad he walked saylor the entire series lol
The IW takes away from the game IMO. Especially considering it’s just backyard wiffle ball with friends. It shouldn’t be completely done away with but they should set a limit per game or series .
The walls is so dumb shouldn’t be allowed. Beat the team, not the worst player.
That was my only complaint about this series. They should implement a limit on IBB per game, let the kids play lol
Commenting before the game starts. This has been a hell of a series, can see it going either way. So glad i found this channel and already cant wait for the 2022 season!!
Hell yeah. I randomly stumbled on it before this season started and have been hooked all year.
Same exact thing
welcome to the club
What a great call by Tommy. You knew Kyle wanted it bad when he tried that bush league move running into Jimmy in his first Ab. What an incredible series. Congrats to the Dbacks!!
Kyle: Injured first play
Also Kyle: celebrating a Saylor HR a minute later
Looks like he just got winded or something he would have been fine like a minute later
He played dirty and went out of the baseline to hit jimmy. Sad
@@ajkennedy51 BS, he thought jimmy would keep running straight
@@ajkennedy51 He didn't do that on purpose.
@@ajkennedy51 so wrong. he was trying to avoid jimmy and jimmy was trying to avoid kyle. that was an unlucky collision.
What a series. Saylor is def my favorite player- always a great attitude, great teammate, great competitor. Sucked to see Pearson struggle at the end of the series but he really is a great hitter as well. He just needs to shorten up that swing a lot when he’s in the slump.
Was awesome to see Schema with the walkoff as well- he’s also a great teammate and very underrated. Glad to see him shut up Tommy’s little dig at him lol.
My son and I were rooting hard for the Diamondbacks. When Saylor hit the HR in the first we were in disbelief (Thought Dbacks would win in 3-4) and I was like "Man I HATE Nick Saylor." lol. But that's really just respect, he had an amazing season and they almost stole it. If he had pitched game 5 they may have won 1-0
wassup :)
Life long Cats fan, hats off to the D Backs. Credit where it’s due, tremendous team.
Knorp has the title to cement himself among one of the best of all time. Crazy that he’s only in his second year. Scary team moving forward.
Gotta be the best series we’ve ever seen. Great defense, great hitting, and the best part is as the chess match we saw.
Never thought I’d be so stressed in a Wiffle ball game. Definitely the best World Series and season by far. Sad the cats lost but huge props to the dbacks, congrats
Love the raw emotion from both sides, victory and defeat. You can see how badly each of them genuinely wanted to win this.
This was WAY more exciting and emotional than any MLB World Series! It has been an absolute joy following this all season. Everything from Tommy's expert commentary to Kyle's dedication to the league, to Knorp's MVP season, and to all the players for showing up week after week, it was just amazing.
Can only avoid Jimmy so many times before Schema or Heath finally step up. Glad to see the little guy step up with a big hit LOL
What a game couldn’t of asked for a better series. Hats of to jimmy and saylor they were both beasts at the plate in the world series
The hitting in this series was great, but the thing that stood out the most was how good each team was defensively. Best defence I have seen in a series ever.
What a series man!! Holy crap!
I, a 25 year old man, can’t wait to show my dad tomorrow who’s a 56 year old man 😂
Been watching y’all since we ALL were young, so happy to see what this has become. What an incredible series this was, and so, so well put together. The music the editing, all of it.
Thank you guys.
I started following MLW a year ago and watched that 2014 Giants-esque world series run last year by the Gators and didn't really know how special that was. This year after following it the entire year, I am absolutely stunned by how much this league has grown on me. Jimmy is my guy and the Dbacks are my team. I was following them the entire year like they were my Steelers or Pens and you could catch me screaming when they win games!
The way you guys have grown this league, being in your early twenties, late teens... It's incredible man. I love seeing these grass roots groups pop up and you can bet your money I'll be following this league until I die!
PS I told myself if we won (Dbacks) I'd get a Jimmy Knorp shirt... Welp here we go.
This channel has been the best thing I've found this year. Picked D-Backs after that first dominant game and rode the wave since. Insane World Series.
D-BACK NATION!! 🐍🐍
LETS GO!!! I’ve been waiting all day for this! GAME 5!
For something built organically with a bunch of friends, the product you put out is outstanding. The excitement of each pitch had me at the edge of my seat. Thank you for such entertaining content, I can't wait for next season!
It’s incredible what hard work and passion can achieve
As a self-proclaimed MLW Analyst, here are my thoughts on Game 5;
-Insane. The wild ending, honestly couldn't think of a better series in general. Amazing editing, amazing wiffleball, amazing project well done Kyle.
-On Game 4, I commented and said that the deciding factor for Game 5 will be the captains. Whichever captain could out-hustle the other, would end up winning. Well, the Cats found a way around that in walking Knorp it felt like 75% of the time. And yeah, it worked.
-It's fun to think about these teams without their managers and where they would be. Off that, it turned out that which TEAM played better won. Not the best captain. MLW is born off teamwork and working towards a goal, and the Dbacks did just that.
-BUT, I do have something to say about what Jimmy Knorp said at the end of the video in their interview. Calling this 2021 Diamondbacks team the 'Best MLW Team in History' I think should not have been said. They have won one world series. If Jimmy rides this kind of high horse into the next season, it honestly might come around and bite him. Look out for the Magic, Gators, Wildcats, and yes, Diamondbacks.
You’re last bit is a miss analysis…he’s referring to the best team as in best team in a single season which is very just….the MLW is stronger than ever you can see this from old time teams getting crushed over recent years like the Cobras who haven’t looked good since the expansion, yet the diamondbacks had one of the most dominant years with competition being closer than ever
I was with you until the last part. Knorpe's gotta be true to himself, I don't know if the team is the best but he had the best season in MLW history and was being gracious by including the team.
Seeing a young guy like jaxen have to fight crying after losing shows the league does matter to them. It was a cool concept to have a wiffleball league, but what they've done is beyond incredible. Good job everyone in the series because it deserved to go both ways
This was my first full MLW season and God I love all y'all. Thank all of you for giving me something to look forward to on Fridays. Congrats DBACKS! (go preds)
World Series Game 5 was everything I wanted it to be. Let's give major props to every player, all the camera shots, the video-editing, the social media team, the graphic designer, the stat compilers and everyone who helps make this a great production. First year of watching and I wish I knew of MLW sooner. Will be watching every season from now on. Definitely going back to watch old ones.
Congrats to everyone that makes this channel happen! An amazing year! Tommy such great announcing this series! Kyle and all those behind the scenes, thanks for organizing and making this happen!
This is so classic... I feel lucky to have found this jewel of a channel on youtube... thank you for everything MLW...
Really well done league guys! You should be really proud! Great job! Let's start the next season right now!
I love the reactions of the players during the "little guy" moment at 15:11. It shows they're all still friends playing a game and having a great time doing it.
Let’s go d-backs with the game five clutch!!! Let’s have another amazing season in 2022
WHAT. A. GAME. Thank you Kyle for editing the videos every week throughout the season, every one was great. Can’t wait for next season already.
Dude, rooting for cats, but congrats to Knorp. Amazing season. Ready for 2022!
Did knorp win the MVP this year?
Love the passion seen by everyone, shows these guy really care about this. It’s becoming so much more than just them messing around in a park! I love it, congrats Dbacks and congrats Wildcats what a series! Also, would love to see the intentional walk taken away, just not enough hitters to make it that entertaining
That intro was great 🔥 🔥
I just discovered this league, and I am in love with the competitiveness and quality of it. As I watched each game I got quite excited about the Diamondbacks players. Without a doubt I have become a fan, I will not miss any season from now on❤️👍🏼
I just legit started watching every game this year and just picked a team which happened to be the diamondbacks.
I did not think this would be the result.
Let’s go d-backs
Same lol
Jimmy Knorp is a generational talent. Pitching, hitting and fielding has been on display all year and this series has been a masterclass from him. Can't wait to watch this kid for years to come.
Wow! Great job diamond backs on the World Series victory. I have been watching you guys for years now and still tune in every few weeks when you post a new video. Me and some of my friends are trying to start a whiffle ball/blitzball channel but I don't know what camera or editing software to use and wanted to ask if you guys could tell me what you guys use. I would love the help! Congrats again D Backs!
It would be cool to learn this information
Awesome WS guys, best ever!!! Great job Tommy, all you guys on cameras and in production did a fantastic job. I am a fan of MLW, I honestly don't have a favorite team, just enjoy watching you guys and the entertainment factor is phenomenal, I've turned my buddies onto this league...hopefully I can come to watch a series next year if that's allowed. lol. Congratz DTD!!!!
Pearson was the last out in the 3rd 4th and 5th for the Cats. All times there was a runner on. Had he hit, the Wildcats could've won it all. Happy for Knorp though and hopes for Jax. And then Schema, of all people, take an up and in pitch the other way for the walk-off in Game 5. The best series of all time. "Shoulda walked me" shall be remembered forever. #GetKnorped
All I have to say is what an amazing job by the two best teams in the MLW this year. Congrats to both teams for making it so far. I also just wanted to comment how awesome this is. This should absolutely be on live television. Sometimes you can't even get the effort out of professional ball players and these guys give 110 percent! Great job MLW
Love both of these teams. That being said I feel like intentional walks in this league have to be looked at. I respect the strategy of it. This was a great game. I just hate seeing the bat taken out of guys like Knorp or Saylor’s hands. I think it at least deserves a discussion going into next season
I’d say 1 intentional walk per batter per game or a 2 max limit per game for any batter
Agreed! On the big stage I want to see Knorpe, Saylor and Schultz swing away
@@samhalemba nobody is gonna intentionally walk Shultz lol
Part of the game. Would be pointless to eliminate intentional walks as you could just pitch around guys in 4 pitches anyways
@@MLWWiffleBall I’m sure there could be a work around..
Amazing performance by both teams. Hats off to the D-Backs on a great season, and props to the wildcats for a hard fought series against arguably one of the greatest teams in MLW history. Keep your head up Pearson, keep your head up. You and your team fought hard and played lights out defensively to the last play of the game. I know it wasn’t the outcome you wanted, but like Kyle said, you’ll be back. A team with as much chemistry as the wildcats have will continue to see many World Series’ to come. Well played to you all
Need to do something about intentional walks imo. I understand you want to keep the rules as similar to baseball as possible, but it's just different in wiffleball with such a small lineup card. It may be strategic, but it also diminishes the quality of the product for the viewer. Knorp needs to be able to hit.
Some quick ideas:
- Limit 1 intentional walk per frame (there's almost no chance of double plays with the shortened basepaths, so this would guarantee 1 plate appearance for the hitter. What I would personally do.)
- No intentional walks (The most extreme)
- Intentional walk = 2 bags (Limits use cases)
- No intentional walks if there's a runner on base (Limits use cases)
With all that said - amazing series. Really enjoyed watching. Congratulations to the Diamondbacks.
The intentional walk isn't something that can be legislated out. There's no way you can prevent someone from simply tossing 4 unhittable, way-outside pitches to a guy they want to walk. Literally the only difference between MLW and pro baseball in that regard is the MLB forces the catcher to actually step off the plate and not drop four balls, as opposed to the head nod (and no catcher to let through a passed ball). They don't show us the full at bat anyways, so there's really no need for anything but a decision and a hand gesture in MLW.
Let’s go D-Backs!! This has been a great year all around. First time for me following the season with each weeks videos. Jimmy Knorp quickly became my favorite and hands down the top player this year.
This content is the most raw and real production I see these days, and I’m thankful every week. Cheers to the season! Well done 👍🏼
Knorp is the goat
@@flyers1711 this may be true but I will say this...Nick Saylor has Jimmy’s number. the only guy consistently crushing Knorp’s pitches. Crazy good series!
@@TheGmills4411 nick is in my opinion the second best player in the league total beast I just think jimmy is a lil more well rounded in his overall game fielding pitching hitting
Hey MLW! I've watched and rewatched every MLW game from the past few seasons and noticed one big thing missing: Highlight Videos. I was wondering if I would be able to begin making these on a channel dedicated exactly for that? I'm going to start working on it right now, but if you guys in the organization don't want me to I will take it down immidiately. I just think this will be a great thing for the fans of MLW, and a hobby for me to do off to the side. Not to mention, it might even help spread MLW around even more? Please reply if at all possible, and I can definitely give you the channel link if you want!
I think this is a great idea and I’d be in on watching these for sure. Great thing to watch through the off-season imo
DBACKS IN 5!!!! What. A . Game. Just amazing performance all around. Ill be waiting for next season!!!🔥
you gotta change your intentional walk rule or something. it was literally just schema and heath batting the entire time
I'm genuinely in tears and only half cuz I'm drunk. Couldn't have been any better dudes. Jimmy and his squad just seem like the best. Super happy for y'all. Congrats on the big w
Next year you should look at implementing a rule of a maximum 1 or 2 IBB to a particular player. The lineup is only 3 people, keep the bats in their hands as much as possible. Great world series. I think the D-Backs were the first game of the season and you could tell then they had what it took to win it all.
By far the greatest series I've watched on this channel. The competition was off the charts. Hats off the Heath and Schema coming through in the end when the Wildcats wanted absolutely nothing to do with Knorp. Gutted for Pearson though. Everyone who has played sports has been there and it really is a punch right to the gut. He'll bounce back though. Thanks for an amazing season boys! Already looking forward to next season!
Pearson gotta improve on hitting. His back foot moves all the time when he swings. Strikes him out everytime. He went 0-7. But either way, in the 6 years I've been subscribed and watched, this was a top tier series. Barely tops my Mallards MLW WS win.
Is this not the best thing ever? All of these dedicated guys putting everything on the line to try to win the World Series. Great gameplay, great editing, gonna miss my Friday ritual for the next 6 months
What a series!
One suggestion I’d have as a rule change is limiting intentional walks. We saw it a lot this series as well as last years WS. With only 3/4 hitters it really impacts team. Don’t take it away but limit it to 2 or 3 a game.
This has made me a fan for life. I was in the wildcats shoes yesterday. Threw a 2 hit complete game in game 5 of my adult wood bat league championship and lost 1-0. I gave up a homer on a terrible fastball in bottom of the 5th and it was the difference in a 7 inning game. Awesome to see both teams fighting so hard
JIMMY KNORP IS KYLE SCHULTZ’S DADDY 2021 #MrSchultz #HitStick
Congratulations on a great season gents. Could tell by the reactions at the end that this league means more to you all than ever. Best play this season I've seen since I started watching in '19. Only direction for you now is up.
Been a D-Backs fan since day 1, and today I’ve been rewarded for that loyalty.
A WS win is only as good as your opponent, and the Wildcats had a stellar year, couldn’t ask for a better opponent or series.
D-BACKS 2021 CHAMPS LETS GOOOOOOO
So this was my first full season as a viewer and just wow - what a surprise and what a season I was treated to. These kids are an absolute inspiration. The commentary by Kyle and Tommy was awesome all year, the production top-notch, and the wiffle ball play was unbelievable - ample evidence that this league and channel are in good hands. Pearson looked pretty shook up there at the end - he did not have a good game but he had a lot of heart which, at the end of the day, is what this league is all about. Hold your heads high, Wildcat players and fans - it was another unbelievable season for you - you didn't win it all but you should be proud nonetheless. But for now we get to celebrate another team who absolutely deserved the title and whose victory will likely bolster the league even more - the DIAMONDBACKS. GET KNORPED, y'all. 😁 But yeah, phenomenal season, boys. I'm going to miss these Friday vids - spring training can't start soon enough and I ain't talking about the MLB. I'm talking about the M. L. W. Thanks for a great season. 🙌
Tommy’s “little guy” comment had me dead 😂 you know he had to deliver after that
I never imagined I'd get this into MLW, but here we are. I've been casually watching since 2015 but never truly got into it until this season. Heartbroken to see the Cats lose, but I believe they'll be back next year.
Best series in history. Tommy killed it with commentating. All around fantastic production. Congrats D backs, be proud. Wildcats too, put up a hell of a fight. We're gonna need a documentary on this one 🙏🙏
I subbed at the end of 2020 and this is awesome first full year of watching y’all. When Friday comes I’m ready to go home and watch a MLW series. You guys are awesome keep it up.
what a game. what a series. what a season. this was an instant classic game and one of the best ever. Schema coming up with the walk-off is a testament to the insane talent depth of this league. watching Jimmy and Kyle probably the two faces of the league battle it out for the world series is legendary. i thought the wildcats were the better team but the d-backs came up big when they had to and pulled out two extra-inning wins. this was maybe the best season ever with all the competition. the league was so balanced it felt like everyone had a real chance of winning the title down the stretch of the season (except the Mallards lol). It definitely came down to the best two teams and we got the series we dreamed of. Gators 2022!
Thank you Kyle for commissioning and producing another wonderful season of MLW, you brought me and the rest of the MLW community so many great moments.
I loved this year's world series. It was everything you want in a heavyweight fight. Comebacks. Amazing defense. Heart from both teams who left their blood and guts on the field. I only wish MLB could regain this type of excitement. Keep it going boys, this is where it's at. can't wait for MLW in 22.
What an amazing league to have found at the beginning of this year. Huge thanks to you guys over at MLW for doing this for so long, it's an awesome sport to watch. Can't wait for 2022!
A quick appreciation post for Kyle.. man I was rooting for the Dbacks all year but couldn’t help but feel sad for seeing you and the boys going down again. But man you’re a champion this year and every year. The content you released every Friday gave me something to look forward to every single week after my shitty 9-5 job. You’re amazing man and I couldn’t be more grateful witnessing this league at its finest for the last 3 years. What an amazing year it was and I can’t wait for it all again next year. Thank YOU Kyle.
Congratulations to the Downtown Diamondbacks, and a well played series by the Western Wildcats. I really appreciate how everyone puts their 100% into every game of the season and playoffs. I’m really glad the MLW was started. I would have never been so interested and excited in wiffle ball if it weren’t for this league. Thank you to every team and a job well done by everyone involved. Can’t wait for next season!
I feel like Jimmy is usually the one to get that big hit that makes all the difference, but this one was different. What a great series and season as a whole. Can't wait for next year!
All I can say is thank you and congratulations to Kyle and Tommy for putting together such an incredible season. It's amazing that they've been able to turn backyard wiffle ball with a few friends into my favorite sports watch anywhere. Can't wait until next year.
What an incredible series! I’m sad this series ended. The MLW World Series should be like a best of 7.
Knorp side long beach, baby! GG's boys! Schema gotta get mad props for that last hit, hero plays only
What a series! What a year! 2021 will undoubtedly be a year that will never be forgotten in MLW. Congrats to the champs and all that participated in making this year as great as it was. And as always, shoutout to Kyle for producing such a quality product every week, we’ll all be looking forward to next year!
I can't believe the season is over. Can't wait until next year to see these guys compete every week. Congrats to the Dbacks for winning the championship. Props to everybody that's apart of the MLW and to all the time and effort all these guys put in.
Couldn’t have ended any better, both teams had a chance. I really enjoyed following my first full season, really got me hooked , I’m all in.
Jackson will be a staple in this league. Keep your head up. One way to improve your game: steady that right foot at the plate. Wildcats ‘22!
Watch every episode the day it came out. Watched them when I fought Covid and let me tell you, I spent more time watching this channel than watching my Pittsburgh Pirates lol. Keep up the great work on your end. You have a lot of viewers in our area. Be blessed and congrats to both teams for the series.
Every season mlw gets better and better and this will be one of my all time favorite seasons
Absolutely the greatest series ever! You guys are the best. Amazing ending to the very best season ever
For Kyle to still present that trophy to the team he just lost to… amazing sportsmanship. You’re the GOAT Kyle.
LEGENDARY!!! Love how the unsung hero is the one to step up. That is what I love about baseball and now I can say the same for MLW!
What an insane series and hats off to both teams. I loved seeing the emotion and passion from everyone, really made this an intense and memorable WS, hands down the greatest in MLW history
Started following y’all on opening day. Instantly gravitated towards Jimmy and the D Backs during week 2 bc of his wind up, goofy swing, and just overall demeanor. Could tell the dude was a baller. So glad to see him and my squad win it. Dream season for him and the team. Clear MVP, with the home run derby winner (in a landslide), and their third main player hitting a walk off in extras. I love it.
Excellent group of friends, it's awesome to see the emotion at the end of a hard run but these guys play with heart and are making memories for a lifetime.
The best series in MLW history. Great season, fellas
