Why Stan Coveleski ranks #167 in Baseball

Stan Coveleski ranks 167th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1548th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 80, Statistics 92. 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 1912–1928 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1919, 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 world series titles 1, career wins 215, career era 2.89, era titles 2.

Immediately ahead sits Thurman Munson on 85.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Jesse Haines on 84.9. 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.
