Why Roger Bresnahan ranks #183 in Baseball
Roger Bresnahan ranks 183rd among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1682nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 78, Statistics 88. 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 1897–1915 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1903, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world series titles 1, career batting average 0.279, career hits 1252, seasons played 17.
Immediately ahead sits Dizzy Dean on 83.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Chick Hafey on 83.1. 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.
