WCBU Interviews WooshBall Founders

The WCBU interview showcases Jirik and Grivetti’s innovative response to declining youth baseball participation. Their creation, WooshBall, offers a fast-paced, inclusive alternative designed to attract players of all ages and skill levels. By eliminating strikeouts and using softer balls, they’ve made the sport more accessible, reducing intimidation and increasing enjoyment.

WooshBall’s distinctive features—such as its high-tension string bat that produces a signature “wooshing” sound—add excitement and novelty. The game’s flexible base-running and fielding rules further enhance inclusivity, ensuring that anyone can participate regardless of experience. Through this interview, the founders’ passion and vision shine, positioning WooshBall as a dynamic and engaging sport with the potential to rekindle interest in baseball-inspired games.
