Team Similarity Tool
Our team similarity tool aggregates Bill James player similarity scores for an entire team. We use several models including player-to-player comparison using Jame’s similarity scores, a single vector per team, and a pairwise comparison using cosine similarity.
For a detailed discussion of the models and results, please see the Comparing Baseball Teams blog post.
