Is that because Fangraphs has a better search utility for comparing career stats or is it because of the way they organize the data?

Its the searchability. BR sucks for leader boards.

Fangraphs allowed me to determine that JK had the worst start for a OFer since 1900 in only about a minute. That is an amazing capability.

That brings up the question; which website has the best metrics (datasets + proprietary stats), tables, charts, and graphs:

Baseball Reference
Fan Graphs
Baseball Savant
I use BR if I am just looking at and individual player. I use it the most. I use FG if I want to see rankings of players or teams. I use it prob 40% of the time. Never use Baseball Savant but see their stuff posted on X all the time.
BR #1 by a mile but #2 is FG and then Savant and brooks about even. And a 5th is mlb trade calc.
