Seasonal Statistics
We've added data points for batters reaching base on catcher's interference and on violation (ex. reaching on a shift violation). Values will be available at the game and seasonal level, for players and teams.

ci - Catcher's interference
rov - Reached on violation

In the Game Play-by-Play endpoint, these instances are noted with the following outcome ids:
Catcher's Interference: outcome_id="aCI"
Reached on Violation: outcome_id="aROV"

These changes are in effect for MLB API versions 6.5 through 8. See below for MLB v8 sample data.
