There are really just 29 rotations to rank.
Everyone knows the Washington Nationals claim the No. 1 spot in the power rankings of all 30 MLB rotations at the beginning of 2015. While the Nats have assembled a group of starters that have the potential to be historically dominant, the other 29 staffs fall all across the spectrum.
In the process of building these power rankings, two primary factors were taken into consideration:
- 2014 performance
- 2015 projected performance
As for that second bullet point, the foremost focus was on the additions and subtractions that each respective club made over the offseason. Spring training results were also a minor part of that equation.
Unsurprisingly, the Nats aren’t the only World Series contender that landed right at the top of the rankings.
