Why Miguel Tejada ranks #221 in Baseball
Miguel Tejada ranks 221st among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3077th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 84, Honours 76, Statistics 84. 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 1997–2013 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2002, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes al mvp awards 1, all-star selections 6, silver slugger awards 2, career home runs 307.
Immediately ahead sits Ray Dandridge on 81.3, a gap of 0.5 points. Directly behind is Lefty Gomez on 80.6. 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.
