Why Trevor Hoffman ranks #179 in Baseball
Trevor Hoffman ranks 179th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2669th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 80, Statistics 90. 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 1993–2010 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career saves 601, seasons with 40+ saves 9, all-star selections 7, cy young runner-up finishes 2.
Immediately ahead sits Jake Beckley on 85.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is David Ortiz on 85.1. 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.
