New York Yankees
25 roto titles · 126 seasons (1901–2026) · BLA → NYY
Start with the number: 25 Roto Champ titles across 126 seasons of New York Yankees history. Fifteen of them arrived between 1920 and 1961, 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 6.9 all time, against 7.3 over the last ten seasons, essentially unchanged from its historical level.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Babe Ruth in 1920, worth a 35.0 z-score. He owns 11 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Read the All-Franchise Team below knowing its slots are strict: Don Mattingly, Roy White and Tommy Henrich all out-rate somebody who made it, and missed only because their position ran out of room.
