Franchise History

South Bend Wifflers / Seven Deadly Zyns

Originally founded as the South Bend Wifflers by Patrick Thompson, the franchise that would rebrand to the Seven Deadly Zyns had the first pick in the 2021 season where Patrick selected Casey, a duo that would remain together and create the identity of the team through 2025. The team is the only franchise to win two World Series so far. The Zyns embodied an offensive mindset, taking the philosophy that it doesn’t matter how many runs you allow if you have the best offense in the league. In 2025, the team was dedicated as the “Senior team”, meaning that the franchise did not retain a captain or franchise tag, but simply became a collection of all the off-campus Seniors.
