MLB Draft Game: 162 Games, Zero Losses
Baseball is built to humble everyone. The schedule is 162 games long, and even the greatest teams ever assembled lost dozens of them. A perfect season is so far beyond anything the sport has produced that it is less a record to break than a thought experiment — which makes it the perfect target for a simulation.
Here you spin for a storied franchise season, draft a seven-man lineup from pitchers to outfielders, and run the full 162. Most squads settle into a pennant race; a great one chases the 116-win teams of legend; and somewhere out there is a roster and a seed that never loses at all.
How it works
Your lineup covers seven slots: a starting pitcher, a relief pitcher, a catcher, two infielders and two outfielders. Every pick begins with a spin that lands on one of six famous team seasons — the 1998 Yankees, 2004 Red Sox, 1976 Reds, 1988 Dodgers, 1989 Athletics and 2016 Cubs — and deals you a hand of four players from that roster. You carry two re-rolls for the whole draft, and Knowledge Mode strips the ratings away if you would rather trust your baseball brain.
The simulation then grinds through all 162 games, each one a win or a loss. Sweep the entire schedule and you reach the summit: IMMORTAL — 162-0. Win 70% or more and you are on 116-WIN PACE, matching the greatest regular seasons ever recorded; below that sit World Series, Division Title, Wild Card and Winning Record, with the Cellar Dwellers tier waiting if it all goes wrong. Chemistry links between real teammates strengthen your roster, and the seeded engine guarantees that a shared season replays exactly as it happened.

The real-world benchmark
The regular-season record book tops out at 116 wins, and it has been reached twice. The 1906 Chicago Cubs went 116-36 — still the best winning percentage in modern MLB history — and then lost the World Series to the crosstown White Sox. Ninety-five years later the 2001 Seattle Mariners matched them at 116-46, only to fall in the playoffs without ever reaching the World Series.
That is the sobering context for a 162-0 chase: the two winningest regular-season teams ever still lost 36 and 46 games respectively, and neither finished the year as champion. Baseball has never seen anything resembling perfection — your simulation might.
Legendary squads you can draft
Frequently asked
Has any MLB team ever gone undefeated?
No — and no team has ever been close. The best regular seasons in MLB history are the 1906 Cubs at 116-36 and the 2001 Mariners at 116-46, meaning even the all-time greats lost dozens of games.
What is the most wins in an MLB season?
116, achieved twice: by the 1906 Chicago Cubs (116-36) and the 2001 Seattle Mariners (116-46). Remarkably, neither team won the World Series that year.
Why do I only draft seven players?
The lineup is a condensed diamond: one starting pitcher, one reliever, a catcher, two infielders and two outfielders. Seven picks keep the draft quick while still covering every part of the field.
Is every simulated season different?
Every new draft generates a fresh seed, so yes — but any single result is permanent. The seed plus your exact lineup always reproduces the same 162-game campaign, which keeps shared results honest.
