About & method
MLB 162-0 is the baseball entry in the 0 Series — a set of sister sites chasing the impossible perfect season across sports.
Why 162–0?
A Major League season is 162 games. No team has ever won them all — the 1906 Cubs (116–36) and 2001 Mariners (116–46) are the closest anyone has come. A flawless 162–0 is the holy grail that can never happen, which is exactly why it's fun to chase. Each spring we track which clubs are still unbeaten and how long the dream survives.
The data
Everything is built from real Major League Baseball season statistics. Standings, schedules and scores are kept current daily, and the player pool aggregates real season hitting and pitching lines going all the way back to the start of the modern era in 1901.
The ratings
Every player is given an overall rating that reflects how they actually performed — hitters for their bat, pitchers for keeping runs off the board. Each player can be drafted at the positions they really played, with outfielders interchangeable across the grass, any hitter able to slot in at DH, and pitchers split into starters, relievers and closers by their real roles. Think of the numbers as a fun, opinionated ranking — not official stats.
The simulator
Draft a roster and we play out a full 162-game season for it. The stronger your side, the more it wins — but a flawless 162–0 is deliberately brutal to reach, just like the real thing, so it stays a badge of honour for only the very best rosters. The Cellar Dwellers mode is the mirror image: chase a winless 0–162.
