Why Dan Brouthers ranks #17 in Baseball
Dan Brouthers ranks 17th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 937th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 96, Longevity 88, Honours 86, Statistics 96. 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 1879–1904 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1883, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes batting titles 5, career batting average 0.342, career hits 2296, career ops 0.989.
Immediately ahead sits Stan Musial on 90.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Manny Ramírez on 90.8. 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.
