# American League hitting stats 2026

**Use case:** 

Hitting lines for the American League only, for the 2026 season. The MLB API writes the league as AL and NL rather than in full, so that is what the filter matches - asking for "American League" returns nothing, which is the sort of thing that quietly produces an empty dataset.

## Input

```json
{
  "statGroups": [
    "hitting"
  ],
  "season": 2026,
  "playerPool": "ALL",
  "maxPlayers": 200,
  "monitoringMode": false,
  "resetMonitoringState": false,
  "teams": [],
  "players": [],
  "positions": [],
  "leagues": [
    "AL"
  ],
  "minGamesPlayed": 0,
  "maxRank": 0,
  "keywords": [],
  "keywordMatch": "any",
  "excludeKeywords": [],
  "useProxy": false
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [MLB Stats Scraper & Stat Change Monitor - Hitting, Pitching](https://apify.com/neverempty/mlb-stats-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/neverempty/mlb-stats-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
