| Hank Aaron #4 (1954-1976) |
From Stat Geek Baseball's, the Best Ever Book
Who was better, Aaron or Mays? Now that's a debate that's been going round and round since they both
took their first swings in the early 1950s. Yes, Mays was the more
flashy player, patrolling the outfields of the Polo Grounds and
Candlestick Park like a graceful football player with a fantastic
glove. But Aaron was the more consistent, never deviating from his
steady man, stat producing season batter from Milwaukee to Atlanta as
the Braves traversed the nation. So it becomes a little ironic that the
two men who were so compared to each other during their career should
sit right next to each other in the Best Ever rankings, with this time
Hank taking a higher spot at #4. And they were only 15 PEVA points
apart.
When Hank Aaron hit the Home Run that bested the record of Ruth,
it was national news, and news that even surpassed the game
itself. For most fans of baseball, Hank Aaron not only has the
record for most Runs Batted In All-Time, actually the better
record if you think about, but he still has the Home Run Record. And
whether that record ever gets an asterick next to it post
steroid ball days or not, the point is likely moot to most.
Aaron slugged his way into the record books on pure guts and
determination and it was a pleasure to watch both.
Hank was not the most selective hitter, which might account for the
reason his ranking isn't a notch or two higher. He was productive and
durable. In the end, that's what a team wants, someone to be counted
on, day after day after day, to help win games. That's certainly what
Aaron was all about from Milwaukee to Atlanta to Cooperstown.

What is PEVA?
PEVA is the acronym for Stat Geek Baseball's New Player Rating value.
This grade is given to each player and pitcher each season,
rating their performance on a peer to peer review. Six components
for pitchers and batters are melded together into the PEVA Rating,
which ranges each year from 0.200 to 64.000. For more information on
PEVA and the other new baseballevaluation.com Stats, see our Definitions page. PEVA ratings are available for every pitcher and hitter in baseball history. |
PEVA Scale
64.000 - Maximum
32.000 - Cy Young/MVP Candidate
20.000 - All League
15.000 - All-Star Level
10.000 - Very Good
3.500 - Average
0.200 - Minimum |
