Why Jimmy Collins ranks #226 in Baseball
Jimmy Collins ranks 226th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3177th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 74, Honours 78, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Baseball reference universe of 234 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1895–1908 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1901, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world series titles 1, career hits 1999, career batting average 0.294, home-run titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Mookie Betts on 79.8, a gap of 0.5 points. Directly behind is Bobby Doerr on 79.1. 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.
