Why Roger Connor ranks #71 in Baseball
Roger Connor ranks 71st among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1205th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 88, 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 1880–1897 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1885, which sets the Peak component at 92. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career home runs 138, career hits 2467, career batting average 0.316, career triples 233.
Immediately ahead sits Tris Speaker on 88.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mule Suttles on 88.4. 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.
