MLB Game Log: Player & Team Match History

MLB Game Log returns the most recent games for any MLB players or teams you name, one row per game, newest first. It is built for AI agents, bettors, fantasy players and analysts who need a clean, structured MLB game log instead of copying tables by hand.

What does MLB Game Log do?

MLB Game Log looks up each name you give it, finds the right MLB player even when other sports have someone with the same name, and returns their latest games with at-bats, hits, runs, RBIs, home runs, walks and strikeouts for hitters, and innings, earned runs and strikeouts for pitchers.

• Type names in plain text (Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Paul Skenes, Juan Soto); no IDs needed.
• Get recent form in one call: the newest games first, across seasons when needed.
• Ask for many names in one run and get one combined table.
• Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or connect the Actor to an AI workflow through Apify integrations or an MCP client.

Who uses MLB Game Log?

• Betting and prediction-market research: check a hitter's or starting pitcher's last 10 games before a line or market closes.
• Fantasy baseball: follow hot and cold streaks before setting a daily lineup.
• Analysts and journalists: pull a team's postseason run or a player's month in one table.

Schedule a run before each game day if you track the same names every week.

How much will MLB Game Log cost?

MLB Game Log uses pay-per-event pricing. At current Free-tier rates, the default 4 GB run-start charge is about $0.004, plus $0.001 per returned game; 10 rows therefore cost about $0.014. Your plan tier and Apify's current rates may change the total. Check the Pricing tab and request only the rows you need.

Run it through the Apify API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/trovevault~mlb-game-log/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"players": ["Shohei Ohtani", "Aaron Judge"], "maxItems": 10}'

Limitations

• Player stats follow the role: hitters get batting stats, pitchers get pitching stats. Team rows contain results and scores.
• Data comes from ESPN's public sports data, so coverage and update timing follow that source and may lag the end of an event.
• Only completed games are returned; scheduled ones are skipped.

Troubleshooting

• No rows returned: check the spelling or use an ESPN URL or ID. Some names are not present in ESPN's database, and upcoming games are not included.
• Fewer rows than requested: the source may have fewer completed results for that name, season or competition.
• Some names failed: successful names are still returned. Check the RUN_SUMMARY key-value record for the per-name errors and retry only those names.
• Rows are missing from your existing dataset: confirm the datasetId belongs to a dataset you can write to. The run's default dataset is still populated separately.
