Why Roy Halladay ranks #190 in Baseball
Roy Halladay ranks 190th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2751st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Baseball reference universe of 234 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1998–2013 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes cy young awards 2, career wins 203, complete games 67, perfect games 1.
Immediately ahead sits Carl Hubbell on 84.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Jack Chesbro on 84.5. 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.
