Atlanta Braves
4 roto titles · 126 seasons (1901–2026) · BSN → ML1 → ATL
The Atlanta Braves have topped the standings four times in 126 seasons, most recently in 2023. Three of them arrived between 1991 and 2000, and then the franchise waited 23 seasons for the next one, so this is really two separate eras rather than one long run. Their average finish is 11.7 all time, against 7.2 over the last ten seasons, so the recent decade has been the better one.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Ronald Acuña Jr. in 2023, worth a 33.3 z-score. Hank Aaron is the franchise’s most persistent roto presence, owning 14 of its 50 best seasons. The All-Franchise Team below is strictly positional, which is hard on Gary Matthews, David Justice and Claudell Washington: each rates above somebody who made a team, but every slot at their position was already spoken for.
