Why Rollie Fingers ranks #120 in Baseball
Rollie Fingers ranks 120th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1339th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 88, Statistics 90. 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 1968–1985 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1978, 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 career saves 341, world series titles 3, cy young awards 1, mvp awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Adrián Beltré on 87.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Pete Hill on 87.3. 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.
