StatHead.comStathead Consulting was established in 1997 to bring high-quality decision engineering and econometric modelling techniques to the field of baseball. Our focus includes performance analysis, player projections and forecasting, and economic modelling to assist in the understanding on real-world decisions in the baseball industry. Stathead's roots come from the the success of the Baseball Engineering Home Page, which quickly became one of the most popular baseball analysis sites on the World Wide Web.
The Stathead.com Library began as a home for discussions of baseball engineering and modelling, commonly known as "sabermetrics", with an explicit focus on making better strategic and tactical decisions for a baseball team. The site presented research and information related to statistics, performance, strategy, and economic issues, primarily analyzed from a mathematical and/or engineering point of view. Numerous individuals contributed articles or links to the site, and we continue to seek out the best baseball research available. Stathead is proud to continue sponsorship of the Library as a free source of top-notch research for sabermetricians everywhere.

Tom is a Diehard Red Sox fan and SABR member, and he is a contributor to the Baseball Engineering site and the Red Sox mailing list. His own baseball research interests lies in the area of Monte Carlo simulation and objective performance analysis of all aspects of the game. Tom works as a Senior Engineer in the semiconductor industry in Santa Barbara, California, and he holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Boston University in Computer Engineering and a Master of Science degree from the University of California Santa Barbara in Electrical Engineering.
Nate and Keith have shared an interest in baseball, and in the Boston Red Sox in particular, since their undergraduate days at M.I.T. Nate's research interests lie in the analysis of minor league performance and player career projections, and was a charter member of the Internet Boston Red Sox mailing list. Nate holds a Bachelor's degree from M.I.T. in Electrical Engineering
