Ottoneu June Power Rankings
My how time flies! We are already at the halfway point of the season, and the league races and overall power rankings are really starting to take shape. Here are links to the April and May power rankings where I gave the history of these rankings and explained the methodology.
Without further ado, the FanGraphs points league team rankings (1,340 teams):
| LgNum | TeamName | Points | PPG | PIP | pGP | pIp | PACE |
| 194 | The Murder Boners | 11,797.2 | 6.45 | 6.26 | 1,938 | 1,500 | 21,888 |
| 81 | 20,530 or Bust | 11,422.2 | 6.39 | 6.14 | 1,938 | 1,499 | 21,588 |
| 430 | Britton Yu Crazy Diamond | 11,423.0 | 6.32 | 6.05 | 1,944 | 1,500 | 21,361 |
| 198 | Blue Suede Schus | 11,131.8 | 5.92 | 6.57 | 1,944 | 1,433 | 20,922 |
| 240 | Miguel’s Caballeros | 11,082.0 | 6.09 | 6.53 | 1,944 | 1,387 | 20,899 |
| 248 | Piedmont Boll Weevils | 11,338.6 | 6.42 | 5.80 | 1,944 | 1,442 | 20,847 |
| 207 | King Kang | 10,976.6 | 6.02 | 6.04 | 1,944 | 1,495 | 20,734 |
| 389 | Smelly Pirate Hooker | 10,955.0 | 6.03 | 6.31 | 1,940 | 1,427 | 20,705 |
| 52 | Durham Tobacconists | 10,958.0 | 6.22 | 5.93 | 1,897 | 1,500 | 20,693 |
| 32 | The Yastrzemskinators | 11,169.0 | 6.14 | 5.79 | 1,944 | 1,493 | 20,582 |
The #1 FGPTS team remains this same this month, but there was a fair bit of shakeup within the rest of the top ten. Last month ten teams were on pace to beat the FGPTS record of 20,530, and this month eleven teams are on pace to do so! I think it’s fair to say that the record will be broken by at least one team in 2016. Offense continues to surge as we reach the summer, with all FGPTS teams averaging 5.30 Pts/G, up from 4.92 Pts/G last year and 5.13 Pts/G just last month. Pitching continues to be down, with an average Pts/IP of 4.96 compared to 5.14 Pts/IP in 2015.
Here are the FGPTS league power rankings (112 leagues):
| lgNum | LgName | AvgRk | Rnk+ |
| 649 | Brinksmanship | 439.6 | 134.6 |
| 347 | MVP Baseball 2005 | 444.8 | 133.9 |
| 532 | A Small Sample | 474.5 | 129.4 |
| 93 | ottobros | 478.6 | 128.8 |
| 195 | Wins Above Figgins | 495.5 | 126.3 |
| 504 | KyGentlemensClub | 509.3 | 124.3 |
| 380 | Don’t Be Chi | 521.4 | 122.5 |
| 90 | UZR Friendly | 539.1 | 119.8 |
| 671 | MLB 2k16 | 539.1 | 119.8 |
| 530 | Ottoneu Champions | 542.8 | 119.3 |
As a reminder, the AvgRk column represents the average overall rank of all teams in the league, with 672.48 representing the average league. The Rnk+ column basically scales the AvgRk against 672.48, so that the 134.6 Rnk+ of Brinksmanship means that the teams in that league are ranked 34.6% higher than you would expect from a perfectly average league.
Up next, the SABR league team power rankings (225 teams):
| LgNum | TeamName | Points | PPG | P/IP | pGP | pIp | PACE |
| 301 | SABRmagician✨ | 10,849.5 | 6.21 | 5.91 | 1,944 | 1,390 | 20,284 |
| 331 | Yeah Jeets | 10,717.7 | 6.22 | 5.51 | 1,944 | 1,476 | 20,225 |
| 456 | The Folies-Bergère Barmaids | 10,563.2 | 6.00 | 5.65 | 1,944 | 1,500 | 20,139 |
| 37 | The Naturals | 10,652.3 | 6.10 | 5.44 | 1,944 | 1,500 | 20,018 |
| 412 | Surplus or Minus | 10,518.1 | 6.03 | 5.60 | 1,944 | 1,455 | 19,873 |
And the top five SABR leagues, using the same method I did for the FanGraphs points leagues (19 leagues):
| lgNum | LgName | AvgRk | Rnk+ |
| 25 | Super Serious Fantasy Baseball | 85.7 | 125.2 |
| 159 | Cooperstown – The Jack O’Ryan Memorial League | 96.8 | 115.5 |
| 571 | Effectively Wild (Dynasty) | 98.8 | 113.7 |
| 186 | Fantasy By the Book – An OttoNeu Experience | 100.0 | 112.6 |
| 164 | B. Selig Blue Ribbon Glee Club | 103.0 | 110.0 |
Up next are the two rotisserie ottoneu formats, starting with the traditional 5×5 leagues. To calculate the top teams, I treated the entire population of teams as one big league, and gave every team points for every category based on where they ranked against every other team (499 teams):
| LgNum | TeamName | R | HR | RBI | SB | AVG | IP | WINS | SV | K | ERA | WHIP | POW |
| 326 | NY Swallows | 611 | 185 | 596 | 79 | 0.275 | 864.0 | 67 | 69 | 887 | 2.95 | 1.13 | 454.4 |

| 56 | Blue Whales | 617 | 171 | 590 | 95 | 0.290 | 807.0 | 58 | 77 | 783 | 3.23 | 1.13 | 450.7 |

| 680 | Magazine Husbands | 623 | 162 | 595 | 77 | 0.285 | 805.2 | 60 | 67 | 740 | 3.13 | 1.15 | 423.3 |
| 461 | Boise Boats | 591 | 171 | 588 | 67 | 0.273 | 786.0 | 53 | 108 | 834 | 3.22 | 1.13 | 421.1 |
