⚾ MLB Stats Tracker

📖 How This App Works

• 📅 Live game schedule — today's MLB matchups are pulled from the MLB Stats API each morning at 6 AM PT and cached for fast page loads
• 👤 Per-roster player stats — for each game, the active roster is fetched and individual game logs are retrieved for every batter and pitcher on both teams
• 📊 Three stat windows — the 7 / 10 / 21 buttons on the game detail page switch between windows. The label refers to games played, not calendar days, so streaks and off days don't distort the numbers
• 🧢 Batters — shows AVG, OBP, SLG, HR, RBI, Hits, AB, and K across the last 7, 10, or 21 games where the player had at least one at-bat. Sorted by at-bats so the most active players appear first
• 🎯 Pitchers — shows ERA, WHIP, Games Started, IP, Saves, H, R, K, and BB across the last 2, 3, or 4 outings where the pitcher recorded at least one inning. Rest days and IL stints are excluded so the window reflects real appearances
• 🏆 Team comparison — rolls up individual stats into a side-by-side summary showing Team AVG, OBP, SLG, HR, Avg Hits/game, and Avg K/game for both clubs
• 🟢🔴 Color coding — green highlights strong performance, red flags weak performance, based on fixed MLB benchmarks (AVG above .265 = green, below .240 = red · ERA below 3.00 = green, above 5.00 = red)
• ⭐ Favorites — pin teams to the top of this page for quick access across visits

💡 Early in the season some stats may show zeros — this is normal until enough games have been played to fill each rolling window.
