Why Pete Hill ranks #121 in Baseball
Pete Hill ranks 121st among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1341st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 90, 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 1899–1925 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1908, 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 career batting average 0.307, seasons played 25, championship teams 5, career hits 1000.
Immediately ahead sits Rollie Fingers on 87.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Lou Whitaker on 87.3. 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.
