Why Elmer Flick ranks #186 in Baseball
Elmer Flick ranks 186th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1691st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 78, Statistics 92. 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 1898–1910 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1900, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 batting titles 1, career batting average 0.313, career triples 164, stolen base titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Harold Baines on 83.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Earle Combs on 82.2. 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.
