Why Carl Hubbell ranks #189 in Baseball
Carl Hubbell ranks 189th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2750th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 76, Honours 84, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Baseball reference universe of 234 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1928–1943 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1935, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career wins 253, mvp awards 2, world series titles 1, consecutive wins in 1936-37 24.
Immediately ahead sits Andy Cooper on 84.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Roy Halladay on 84.6. 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.
