Similarity score In Sabermetrics and APBRmetrics , similarity scores are a method of comparing baseball and basketball players ( usually in MLB or the NBA ) to other players , with the intent of discovering who the most similar historical players are to a certain player . Similarity scores are among the many original sabermetric concepts first introduced by Bill James . James initially created the concept as a way to effectively compare non - Hall of Fame players to players in the Hall , to see who was either on track to make the HOF , or to determine if any eligible players had been snubbed by the selection committee . For example , if the most similar players to a non - HOFer were all in the Hall of Fame , one could effectively argue that that player should be in the Hall . More recently , similarity scores have been used to determine career paths and projected statistics for players . The logic behind this line of thought is simple : players often follow similar career trajectories to their most similar players , so the historical similar players ' performance in years after the active player ' s current age should be a good predictor of that active player ' s future production . An example of this would be the Football Outsiders ' discovery that all but the highest caliber of wide receiver s suffer a marked decline after their seventh season in the NFL , a fact that bore out for the receivers selected in the 1996 NFL Draft when their production collectively slipped . Many baseball analysts have augmented James ' method over the years , or come up with their own system of measuring similarity . " Baseball Prospectus " employs a projection system developed by Nate Silver known as PECOTA which applies nearest neighbor analysis to calculate similarities between players from different eras . " Pro Football Prospectus " ( written by Football Outsiders ) has their own system ( dubbed " KUBIAK " after longtime Broncos backup quarterback Gary Kubiak ) for projecting future performance . John Hollinger developed a similar system for basketball players in his " Pro Basketball Forecast " series of books , and several APBRmetricians have expanded on his methodology . Similarity scores are also used extensively in many statistical forecasting programs .
