Software Tools for Baseball Analysis

Do your own analysis using the Guru's free stat gadgets. Download the Guru's T-Test Gadget - The ultimate arguement settler! Compare a player's stats to another player or to his team or to his league to find out if the amount that he is better (or worse) is statistically significant.

How it works:  Enter the "Base" (such as AB or IP) and the "Result" (such as hits or earned runs) for "Player 1" and "Player 2."  Player 2 can represent another player, a whole team or league totals depending on what you want to compare. The gadget will instantly tell you if the difference is statistically significant.
