Why Jesse Haines ranks #168 in Baseball
Jesse Haines ranks 168th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1562nd 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 76, Peak 88, Longevity 92, Honours 82, 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 1918–1937 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1927, which sets the Peak component at 88. 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 world series titles 3, career wins 210, career complete games 209, no-hitters 1.
Immediately ahead sits Stan Coveleski on 85.0, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Frank Grant on 84.9. 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.
