MLB API - Gameday Coverage Attribute

We’ve added a coverage indicator gameday_type to all games in our MLB API.

⭐ Benefit

Use the gameday_type attribute to get a deeper sense of the level of detail for each MLB matchup.

Gameday types are available at 3 levels of coverage:

Coverage Level	Description
`P` - Premium	Pitch tracking, player tracking, and full Statcast product experience
`E` - Enhanced	Pitch tracking but not full Statcast product experience
`Y` - Regular	Pitch-by-pitch resulting but no Statcast product experience
