## Changelog

All notable changes to the MLB Stats Scraper are documented here.

### \[1.0.0] — 2026-09-02

First release.

#### What it does

Pulls six MLB datasets from Major League Baseball's public statistics service: game schedules and
scores, division standings, all 30 clubs, team rosters, season leaders and per-player box score
lines. No API key, no account, no quota.

#### User benefits

- **Six datasets, priced separately.** Each operation charges its own event, so pulling 30
  standings rows is not billed at box-score rates.
- **Official figures, unchanged.** Win percentage comes through as `.599` and the division
  leader's games back as `-`, exactly as the league publishes them. Nothing is reformatted behind
  your back, so your numbers agree with the official ones.
- **Empty means empty.** A pitcher who never batted has no batting stats rather than zeros — the
  actor will not invent plate appearances that did not happen.
- **Joins without name matching.** Player and team IDs are identical across all six datasets, so
  a roster row, a leader row and a box score line link on an ID.
- **Historical seasons on the same routes.** Change the season and pull 2019 exactly as you pull
  this year, with the same output shape.
- **No games is not an error.** Out of season the schedule returns an empty result and says so,
  instead of reporting a failure you would have to investigate.

#### Use cases

- Daily scores feeds for a site, newsletter or bot.
- Standings tracking over a season, with streaks and run differential.
- Fantasy and betting models fed from leaders and box score lines.
- Roster and transaction monitoring for a club.
- Journalism and research across historical seasons.

#### Known scope

Live pitch-by-pitch feeds and Statcast tracking data are not part of the public statistics service
and are outside this actor's scope.
