Ranking every champion since Season 140
15. Season 140 Champs: Toronto Blasters (40-20)
Although they are 15th on this list, they had an absolutely amazing season, going 40-20, clinching their division and seeding 5th in Spectra Falls. They won all their series in 3 games to get to the World Playoffs. They went down 2-0 in the World Series against the Gangsters before winning the last 3 to win it all and claim their first and only championship, as of now.
Fernando Wilke: 0.363 BAvg, 29 HR, 70 RBI
Terrance Holcombe: 12-4, 2.76 ERA, 110 K
14. Season 152 Champs: Canberra Coho Killaz (42-18)
A fairly new team was added to the list of champions in Season 152, as Canberra, also of Spectra Falls, came out of the 3 seed in their league, sweeping through the League Playoffs. They also went down 2-0 in the World Playoffs to St. Johns Raptors, but came back by winning the next 3 games all by 1 run. Canberra has 3 division titles, and are looking to make that 4 this season.
Devan Montano: 0.372 BAvg, 19 HR, 158 TB
Jairo Granados: 12-2, 2.52 ERA, 0.80 WHIP
13. Season 146 Champs: St. Johns Raptors (42-18)
As the 4 seed in Delta Premier, St. Johns swept their first two opponents, but then fell down 1-0 to WestcoastExpress before winning the next 2 to head to the World Playoffs. They faced the 51-9 Ocala Coalition in the World Series, and did the unthinkable, beating them in a series that took all 5 games. In the final game, pitcher Joey Lees had arguably his best performance, shutting out Ocala for the win.
Dominik Roundtree: 0.369 BAvg, 1.108 OPS, 127 TB
Treyton Caruso: 7-1, 2.17 ERA, 0.82 WHIP
12. Season 145 Champs: Chosen Ones (45-15)
Chosen Ones is becoming a true dynasty, having no more than 11 losses in a season for the last 6 seasons, including a 46-3 start to this season. But their performance in Season 145 kind of came out of nowhere. They had an easier opponent in the World Series, sweeping them, after going to a deciding game in all 3 League Playoff series. Expect Chosen Ones to win many more titles.
Cesar Wick: 0.329 BAvg, 24 HR, 195 TB
Nathen McFadden: 11-1, 2.75 ERA, 103 K
11. Season 149 Champs: Dayton Blacksox (40-20)
After losing game 1 of the World Series 8-0, the Blacksox won 3 straight, hoisting their first World Series trophy. They went through a semi-weak Azure River to get to the World Playoffs. The World Playoffs had only one team that was seeded in the top 15, and that team lost to the 38-22 Toronto Inferno, who faced the Blacksox in the World Series. But the Blacksox proved they deserved this the next season.
Marquez Lay: 0.309 BAvg, 25 R, 22 XBH
Julio Zuniga: 12-1, 2.87 ERA, 9.61 K/9
10. Season 150 Champs: Dayton Blacksox (41-19)
Dayton swept the Chosen Ones 3-0 in the World Series, but the games were extremely close. Game 1 had a total of 31 hits, game 2 went 10 innings, and game 3 saw late inning runs in a 2-run ballgame. Blacksox, who moved to Alpha Ruby, was able to avoid ObZen as they were upset in the first round.
Alvin Fryer: 0.345 BAvg, 24 HR, 56 RBI
Raymond Mujica: 10-3, 2.85 ERA, 8.69 K/9
9. Season 142 Champs: Oakland ObZen (48-12)
6x World Series Champion Oakland ObZen won their most recent in Season 142. They had an incredible regular season, going 48-12, and capped off a great season defeating the Toronto Blasters 3-1. ObZen swept the #1 team in Alpha Ruby to make it to the World Playoffs, where they defeated the Lizards and the Wolves after a bye. If the bye was given to the 48-12 Bluejays, history could’ve changed.
Sean Himes: 0.322 BAvg, 46 RBI, 40 SB
Trenton Spurgeon: 12-1, 2.58 ERA, 104 K
8. Season 151 Champs: Charlotte Magic (47-13)
After getting superstar shortstop Frederick Bogan, the Magic roster seemed complete, and they proved it with a World Series win. But alongside some great hitting was untouchable pitching, as Magic went the whole postseason without losing a game. They knocked off Sigma Glacier’s 1 seeded Cambridge Longballs, then won 3 straight to make the World Series, and the rest is history.
Frederick Bogan: 0.344 BAvg, 34 HR, 79 RBI
Pierce Bragg: 13-2, 2.37 ERA, 123 K
7. Season 154 Champs: St. Johns Deadly Sins (45-15)
I introduce you to St. Johns Deadly Sins, the greatest team in FranchiseBall history. 65 division titles, 40 league titles, and 12 world titles. The last time they didn’t win their division was in Season 133, which was in May of 2024. Oh, and fun fact, they’ve played 70 seasons. So about 93% of their seasons end with a division title. And 17% end up in world titles, like this season, where they swept Ocala.
Davion Leblanc: 0.324 BAvg, 30 HR, 60 RBI
Larry Browning: 8-0, 1.54 ERA, 0.63 WHIP
6. Season 148 Champs: Ocala Coalition (47-13)
Ocala’s pitching was elite this season. They continued to be elite in the playoffs, where they won Omicron Desert, giving up 3, 4, 0, 1, 3, 3, and 2 runs in the League Playoffs. In the World Playoffs, their pitching almost cost them a World Series appearance, but their hitting was dominant. Their pitching was back to dominance in the World Series, where they defeated ObZen in 5 games.
Dorian Yates: 0.339 BAvg, 27 HR, 64 RBI
Julius Goetz: 11-1, 2.36 ERA, 0.86 WHIP
5. Season 147 Champs: St. Johns Deadly Sins (46-14)
This won’t be the last time you see St. Johns Deadly Sins. In this season, the Deadly Sins swept through Theta Premier, then beat a couple of sub-40 win teams before beating fellow St. Johns team St. Johns Codfish to face the #1 seed, Oakland ObZen, who they beat in 5 games. Oakland had a historic season, going 55-5. (Star pitcher Treyton Caruso has eight 9+-win seasons with St. Johns.)
Jerrold Villareal: 0.335 BAvg, 25 HR, 72 RBI
Treyton Caruso: 10-2, 2.41 ERA, 105 K
4. Season 144 Champs: St. Johns Deadly Sins (50-10)
In Season 144, St. Johns became back-to-back champs for the first time since Seasons 126-127 by Oakland ObZen and themselves in Seasons 117-118. (Dayton is the most recent team to accomplish this.) The first two games of the World Series went to extra innings, before Sins won the third game 9-0 and then the final game 8-5. Sins swept through the Theta Premier playoffs.
Christian Shores: 0.380 BAvg, 1.270 OPS, 24 HR
Asa Pendor: 0-1, 1.80 ERA, 9 SVs
3. Season 141 Champs: Mexico City Diablos (45-15)
The Season 141 champs had a super underrated playoff run. In this World Playoffs, they had to face two teams who also went 45-15, and then Oakland ObZen, after facing a gauntlet of Manchester Scared Hitless, Victoria Dragons, and Manchester Scared Hitless. They ended the season knocking off Deadly Sins, including an 11-run performance in game 4.
Amadeo Ulibarri: 0.324 BAvg, 30 HR, 16 SB
All 5 starters: 10+ Wins for all, 120+ Ks for all
2. Season 153 Champs: Ocala Coalition (52-7)
Coalition has turned into a dynasty. Expect lots of World Series championships down the road similar to this one. Not only did they go 52-7, but they only lost one game all playoffs, which was against Baltimore EasternShoreMD. They swept the 54-6 Magic in the finals after facing a 45-win and a 49-win team to make the World Series.
Wade Lamontagne: 0.393 BAvg, 29 R, 34 RBI
Jackson Watson: 13-0, 2.34 ERA, 114 K
1. Season 143 Champs: St. Johns Deadly Sins (52-8)
12x Champs St. Johns Deadly Sins has built an absolute dynasty. This masterclass of a season is included. Four pitchers with 10+ wins, two pitchers with ERAs below 2, three pitchers with WHIPs below 0.77, and six pitchers with BAAs below 0.201. Out of all of their seasons, their most impressive is obviously their 60-0 record in Season 111.
Jerrold Villareal: 0.354 BAvg, 24 HR, 64 RBI
Santino Treadyway: 11-1, 1.58 ERA, 0.66 WHIP
