Why Red Faber ranks #141 in Baseball
Red Faber ranks 141st among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1407th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 92, Honours 80, Statistics 92. 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 1914–1933 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1921, 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 world series titles 1, career wins 254, career innings pitched 4086, era titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Sandy Koufax on 86.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Frank Chance on 86.5. 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.
