Analyzing Sports Statistics

Using Stats in Sports

Teams and coaches use statistics to improve performance, scout players, and predict outcomes. By analyzing player averages, win-loss records, and more, they make smarter decisions.

How It Works

  • Track player statistics like batting averages or shooting percentages.
  • Use probability to predict game outcomes.
  • Identify trends and patterns in performance over time.

Beyond the Game

Sports analytics is now a key part of team strategy and even fantasy leagues!

Examples

  • A basketball coach uses player shooting statistics to decide who should take the final shot.

  • A fantasy football player uses projected scores to draft the best team.
