San Diego Padres
0 roto titles · 58 seasons (1969–2026)
No Roto Champ title has reached the San Diego Padres yet. The nearest miss came in 2020, 2nd of 30, the best of 58 seasons. They have finished in the top three three times without ever closing it out. Their average finish is 16.9 all time, against 11.5 over the last ten seasons, a sharp climb on the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Fernando Tatis Jr. in 2021, worth a 19.8 z-score. Tony Gwynn is the franchise’s most persistent roto presence, owning 7 of its 50 best seasons. One quirk worth knowing: the All-Franchise Team below fills strict positions, so Chase Headley, Eric Hosmer and Jurickson Profar all rate above somebody who made it and still missed, purely because their position ran out.
