Roto Champ
Every MLB team scored as a roto fantasy team. The title MLB never hands out.
▶How is it scored?
Roster: every team is 9 hitters by plate appearances, 5 starters by innings pitched, and 1 closer by saves, a 15-man roster.
Scoring: 5×5 roto. The teams are ranked in all 10 categories (R · HR · RBI · SB · AVG and W · K · SV · ERA · WHIP; lowest ERA/WHIP rank best), placement points are awarded in each (worst = 1 … best = the number of teams), and the 10 sums add up to the Roto total.
A team can be Roto Champ without winning the real title: that gap is the whole fun.
