Why Pop Lloyd ranks #20 in Baseball
Pop Lloyd ranks 20th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 964th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 94, Longevity 92, Honours 84, 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 1906–1932 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1912, 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 batting average 0.343, seasons played 27, championship teams 5, negro league batting titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Mariano Rivera on 90.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Randy Johnson on 90.5. 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.
