Baseball Savant Statcast Scraper

Pull MLB Statcast advanced-metric leaderboards from Baseball Savant as clean, structured rows: exit velocity, launch angle, barrels, hard-hit rate, sweet-spot percent, batted-ball distances and expected stats (xBA, xSLG, xwOBA). One row per player, filterable by season, team, batter or pitcher, with optional expected-stats enrichment and an optional AI scouting summary.

Here is one real result from the statcast batter leaderboard, with the core fields the actor returns:
