Why Andy Cooper ranks #173 in Baseball
Andy Cooper ranks 173rd among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1580th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 80, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Baseball reference universe of 262 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1920–1941 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1923, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes negro league pennants 3, career wins 116, career saves 30, seasons played 22.
Immediately ahead sits Dave Bancroft on 84.6, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Jack Chesbro on 84.5. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
