Philadelphia Phillies
0 roto titles · 126 seasons (1901–2026)
A Roto Champ title has eluded the Philadelphia Phillies for 126 seasons. The closest call was 1932, 2nd of 37. They have finished in the top three seven times without ever closing it out. Their average finish is 12.8 all time, against 9.7 over the last ten seasons, so the recent decade has been the better one.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Chuck Klein in 1932, worth a 27.5 z-score. Sherry Magee 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 Irish Meusel, Johnny Callison and Von Hayes: each rates above somebody who made a team, but every slot at their position was already spoken for.
