Why Carlton Fisk ranks #175 in Baseball
Carlton Fisk ranks 175th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2649th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 92, Honours 82, Statistics 88. 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 1969–1993 with 25 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1975, which sets the Peak component at 90. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career home runs 376, all-star selections 11, rookie of the year awards 1, career games caught 2226.
Immediately ahead sits Joe Gordon on 85.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Leon Day on 85.4. 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.
