New York Mets
3 roto titles · 65 seasons (1962–2026)
The New York Mets have won the Roto Champ three times in 65 seasons, most recently in 2006. Two came in straight seasons, 1989 through 1990, and then the franchise waited 16 seasons for the next one, so this is really two separate eras rather than one long run. Their average finish is 14.8 all time, against 13.8 over the last ten seasons, essentially unchanged from its historical level.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Juan Soto in 2025, worth a 20.4 z-score. David Wright is the franchise’s most persistent roto presence, owning 6 of its 50 best seasons. The All-Franchise Team below is strictly positional, which is hard on Lenny Dykstra, Steve Henderson and John Milner: each rates above somebody who made a team, but every slot at their position was already spoken for.
