About Screwball

Mission

The mission of Screwball is to be the smartest sports stat search engine. You should be able to ask any MLB or NBA stat question in English and immediately get the right answer. The three guiding principles of Screwball are easy, accurate and real-time.

Easy: You ask your question in plain English and we translate it into a search that our backend can process. You can see exactly how your query was translated by looking at the Screwball Understood box on the search results, ensuring you are seeing the right answer. Most questions are answered by going through every boxscore in MLB or NBA history, all in a fraction of a second.

Accurate: Screwball uses Sportradar, the official stat provider of MLB and NBA. In places where Screwball does not have the right data to give you the answer, it will tell you.

Real-time: When something happens in a game, you shouldn't have to wait until tomorrow to see it reflected in the stats. Screwball's uses Sportradar's real-time data feeds to always make sure your questions are answered using the freshest data available.
