Drew Luther

A New Carlisle kid that grew up with The Wiffle®Ball Championship, Drew Luther has been one of the most reliable and sure-handed players in the lineup for each of his teams.

First reaching Migley in 2006 with The 4 Amigos, Luther returned to Wiffle®Ball's Grandest Stage in 2015, 2018, and 2019 with teammate Shane Anderson and the Maple City franchise.

A six-time All-Star (2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019), he captured his first ORWBL World Series title with the Magic in 2018 and was on board for another in 2019. At the time of his induction, Luther ranks fifth on the ORWBL all-time hits list, as he is one of just six players who have eclipsed 600.

His role in the only known game-fixing scandal in wiffleball history did not affect his consideration for the Hall of Fame. During pool play in 2006, Luther agreed to purchase an elephant ear from Memorial Park for Tyler Cox of Great Balls of Fire in exchange for Cox throwing the game.
