Why Robin Yount ranks #23 in Baseball
Robin Yount ranks 23rd among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 992nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 94, Honours 86, Statistics 96. 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 1974–1993 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1982, which sets the Peak component at 94. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes mvp awards 2, career hits 3142, all-star selections 3, gold gloves 1.
Immediately ahead sits George Brett on 90.5, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Jim Palmer on 90.1. 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.
