Game Summary

Game Extended Summary

We've updated the calculation for the data point of games played for overall fielding under each player. The calculation is now a maximum of a single "games played" value for a player's overall fielding statistics.

Why It Matters
This update ensures that the games played count for a player's overall fielding is consistent with standard baseball conventions. By removing inflated totals caused by multi-position appearances in a single game, we provide more accurate, trustworthy data to support downstream use cases.

What You Need to Do
No change is needed. The 2024 and 2025 seasons will be updated accordingly, while former seasons will be addressed at a later date.

Player Profile

We've adjusted the behavior of our Player Profile endpoint to always sort each season entry to display the most recent team first. You may now use this endpoint to reliably infer the current team for a player.

In the below example, Rafael Devers was traded from the Red Sox to the Giants in the 2025 regular season. The 2025 regular season entry (season id="a91f72a5-9812-4acd-b3fd-482cb31468cd" year="2024" type="REG") displays his Giants statistics first, indicating it was the last team he recorded statistics for in the 2025 regular season.

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.
