Can anyone explain for me the meaning of the number indexed beside the names on the list of 9 most comparable players---what does it measure? How is it calculated?

Similarity Score. Not sure if OOTP's formula is exactly the same: https://www.baseball-reference.com/a...milarity.shtml

That's one feature that should probably get vastly improved or discarded altogether.
