How to Play 162-0
- 1
Each round, a random MLB team and decade are drawn — for example, the 1990s New York Yankees or the 1970s Cincinnati Reds. You see the top players from that team and era, ranked by total WAR (Wins Above Replacement) for that decade.
- 2
Pick one player to fill the current position: Catcher, First Base, Second Base, Third Base, Shortstop, Left Field, Center Field, Right Field, Starting Pitcher, or Relief Pitcher. Ten rounds, ten picks. You get 3 team rerolls and 3 era rerolls for the whole game.

After all 10 picks, your team is simulated through a 162-game season. Each position is weighted by its impact — your Starting Pitcher carries the most weight, followed by up-the-middle positions. The better your WAR totals, the more wins you rack up.

The goal: go 162-0. An undefeated MLB season has never happened. Build the greatest dynasty in baseball history and see how close you get.
About 162-0
162-0 spans the entire history of Major League Baseball — from the 1920 New York Yankees of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig to the 2020s Los Angeles Dodgers. WAR (Wins Above Replacement) is used to rate each player, the same metric baseball analysts use to compare players across eras.
Each draw forces a decision: is a good player from a great team better than a great player from a weak one? Should you take a legendary shortstop from the 1940s Cardinals over a solid one from the 2010s Astros? The random element keeps every game different.
Reaching 162-0 requires a near-perfect score at every position — think Sandy Koufax, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Honus Wagner, and Mike Trout all on the same team. Most teams finish in the 100–140 win range. That last push to perfection is the real challenge.
