Why George Brett ranks #22 in Baseball
George Brett ranks 22nd among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 975th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 90, Honours 88, Statistics 94. 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 1973–1993 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1980, 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 hits 3154, mvp awards 1, batting titles 3, world series titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Randy Johnson on 90.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Robin Yount on 90.2. 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.
