(3-0 Series)
Even though every game of this series was competitive, the Wildcats were able to get the sweep with their key home run hitting and solid pitching. Highlights of the series include Kyle Schultz hitting a walk-off HR in game 1, and Tommy Coughlin striking out Chad Rensi to win it all in Game 3.
2012 World Series
WINNER: Western Wildcats
RUNNER-UP: Northern Nighthawks
(3-2 Series)
For the first time ever, the World Series was decided in Game 5. In this game, Scott Brown hit a game-tying home run with two outs in the top of the third, but Tommy Coughlin ended up hitting a bigger one. He won the World Series with a walk-off blast in the bottom of the third, giving the Wildcats their third World Series title.
2013 World Series
WINNER: Central Cardinals
RUNNER-UP: Western Wildcats
(3-0 Series)
In the Cardinals third year in the league, they were finally able to win it all. Led by veteran Chad Rensi, the Cardinals were able to sweep the Wildcats- shocking everybody. The pitching by Jack Chevalier and Michael Duncan was simply phenomenal, and their clutch hitting propelled them to being the first non-Wildcat team to win it all.
2014 World Series
WINNER: Western Wildcats
RUNNER-UP: Eastern Eagles
(3-2 Series)
The Wildcats were able to get back on track in 2014, but this time with a new cast of characters. With the retirement of Tommy Coughlin leaving question marks for the team, they were able to find a solid group of players to join Kyle Schultz. Facing the Eagles in the World Series, they found themselves down 2-1 after three games. They were able to win Games 4 & 5 though, highlighted by a Game 5 walk-off home run by Kyle Schultz to win it all.
2015 World Series
WINNER: Western Wildcats
RUNNER-UP: Eastern Eagles
(3-2 Series)
Just like in 2014, the Western Wildcats were able to beat the Eagles in Game 5. Noah Daberko was key in that game, hitting two big home runs. Kyle Schultz's pitching in the series was also dominant, striking out a total of 32 batters.
2016 World Series
WINNER: Eastern Eagles
RUNNER-UP: Western Wildcats
(3-1 Series)

2017 World Series
WINNER: Midwest Mallards
RUNNER-UP: Coastal Cobras
(3-2 Series)
In one of the most unbelievable World Series' we've ever had, the Midwest Mallards came out on top. After being down in the series 2-0, they stormed back to win the next three and win the series, 3-2, over a tremendous Coastal Cobras team. With Coughlin's lights out pitching, Daberko's clutch homers, and McPeek's timely hitting and solid fielding, this team will surely go down as one of the best and most exciting in MLW history.
2018 World Series
WINNER: Western Wildcats
RUNNER-UP: Midwest Mallards
(3-1 Series)
In quite possibly the best World Series we've ever seen, the Western Wildcats came out victorious in four games to return to wiffle ball prominence. With the leadership of Kyle Schultz, heroics (and SportsCenter Top 10 worthy plays) from Zac Peurach, and great defense from Ryan Kelly, the Wildcats were able to claim their 6th World Series in franchise history.
2019 World Series
WINNER: Pacific Predators
RUNNER-UP: Eastern Eagles

In one of the greatest moments in MLW history, Alec Warda hit a walk-off home run in the 7th inning of Game 3 to forever etch his name in stone. Brennan Russell played phenomenally in the field all series, and Ryan Kracht further cemented his legacy through his MVP-caliber pitching.
2020 World Series
WINNER: Great Lakes Gators
RUNNER-UP: Western Wildcats
(3-1 Series)
Simply the most unconventional title we've ever seen. The Great Lakes Gators win their first World Series in franchise history -- in just year two of their existence -- after defeating the Western Wildcats 3-1 in the series. After drafting two highly touted draft picks in the inaugural MLW draft, this Brendan Szerlag-led team turned heads from day one. Brendan Jorgensen was the ace all year on the mound and Chris Cheetam capped off their incredible journey with a walk-off solo home run to win it all in World Series Game 4.
2021 World Series
WINNER: Downtown Diamondbacks
RUNNER-UP: Western Wildcats
(3-2 Series)
In one of the greatest World Series in MLW history, the D-backs were able to edge out the Wildcats in 5. This Jimmy Knorp-led team had as much fight as we've ever seen in this league's existence, and will go down as one of the best teams ever. Knorp's clutch home runs, Heath's steady presence on the mound, and of course Michael Schema's walk-off single to win the World Series will be remembered forever. Not to mention the phenomenal defense displayed all series long by this tight-knit group.
2022 World Series
WINNER: Downtown Diamondbacks
RUNNER-UP: Coastal Cobras
(3-0 Series)
In an iconic World Series at SoFi Stadium, the D-Backs continued their dominance. Highlighted by 2 wins and a Game 2 walk-off HR from Jimmy Knorp, the Diamondbacks cruised through the Cobras to become back-to-back champions. Knorp claims his second consecutive World Series MVP Award.
2023 World Series
WINNER: Metro Magic
RUNNER-UP: Eastern Eagles
(3-2 Series)
MLW takes the big stage once again, this time at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

RJ Walgate earns all 3 wins and AJ Ackerman comes out of nowhere with 3 HR to win World Series MVP honors.
