MLB API - Ejection Event Type

We’ve added Ejection as a new event type in the MLB Play-by-Play endpoint.

Each relevant play-by-play event may now include "type": "ejection" along with a dedicated ejection object containing details about the player or staff member removed from the game.

⭐ Benefit

Identify and display ejections in real time as part of your live game experience, including who was ejected and when the event occurred.
