Ahead of MLB All-Star game, OnlyBoth, a Pittsburgh-based startup which automatically finds interesting insights in data, and writes them in English, launched a Baseball application.

Baseball 57,000 batter/seasons through 2013 give rise to 200,000 paragraphs, all automated.

Visit OnlyBoth.com, select the baseball option, and enter a player, team, and season, or just enter a player and select from the matches, or a team and year and select from the team's roster. You can find comparable players and contrast them. You can also move from year to year for a player - finding his best year with a single click.

Some examples:

• Derek Jeter, in his most productive year of 2006, had the most singles (158) of all players who fanned 100 times during a season.
• Only Miguel Cabrera of the 2013 Detroit Tigers both made as much money ($21.0M) and had as high an on-base percentage (.442).
• Of the 3,251 hitters who made the All-Star team, Don Johnson of the 1944 Chicago Cubs made the 2nd-most errors (47) and made the most errors from 1941 until today.

 
OnlyBoth also allows you to find interesting insights about colleges, such as

• Harvard has the highest 75th percentile SAT reading score (800) among all 3,122 colleges.
• Yale has the top USNews law school ranking among all 3,122 colleges.

 
OnlyBoth was co-founded in March 2014 by Raul Valdes-Perez, a former CMU Professor and Machine Learning Researcher, who previously founded a successful search and discovery startup Vivisimo.
