Why Frank Grant ranks #169 in Baseball
Frank Grant ranks 169th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1563rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 76, 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 1886–1903 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1887, 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 international league batting titles 1, career batting average 0.313, seasons played 18, home run titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Jesse Haines on 84.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jim Bottomley 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.
