How can we compare the ERA’s of Clayton Kershaw vs. Pedro Martinez, if they pitched in different baseball eras? Simple: calculate their z-scores! Using each pitcher’s population mean and standard deviation, we can make a direct comparison of how well each of them did, relative to his particular competition. Since we’re in the field of statistics dreams, we’ll also need to discuss their percentiles within the Empirical Rule as well, so we call upon immaculately dressed in-field reporter Jordan Cohen to uncurve this concept.
