col_nametypedescription
batterInt64MLBAM player id of the batter.
seasonInt64Season year.
paInt64Plate appearances for the batter in the season, counted as the Statcast rows that END a plate appearance (a non-empty events value). Pitches within a plate appearance are not counted.
abInt64At-bats, derived from the same plate-appearance-ending rows by excluding walks, hit-by-pitches, sacrifice flies, sacrifice bunts and catcher's interference.
xwobaFloat64Expected wOBA blending the exit-velocity by launch-angle grid's predicted contact value on balls in play with realized wOBA value on walks, hit-by-pitches and strikeouts, over the wOBA denominator; low-sample batters can exceed 1.
xbaFloat64Grid-predicted hit probability summed over the at-bat balls in play that carry launch data, plus the realized hit for balls in play Statcast did not track, divided by at-bats, on the conventional batting-average scale. An untracked ball in play takes its realized outcome exactly as xwoba does, rather than counting in ab with a zero numerator, which deflated league-mean xBA by the untracked share.
xslgFloat64The same construction on total bases -- grid-predicted total bases where launch data exists, realized total bases for untracked balls in play -- divided by at-bats, on the conventional slugging scale.
wobaFloat64Actual weighted on-base average (wOBA) for the player over the sample.
baFloat64Actual batting average for the player over the sample (0-1), alongside the expected-stat columns.

batterInt64MLBAM player id of the batter.
seasonInt64Season year.
hrInt64Home runs hit by the batter over the covered sample.
xhr_neutralFloat64Park-neutral expected home runs, summing over the batter's balls in play the home-run probability read off the exit-velocity by launch-angle by spray-angle grid.
xhr_park_adjFloat64The same expected-home-run sum after scaling each ball by its ballpark's Savant home-run park factor over 100; published values run between 0.77 and 1.26 times xhr_neutral.
hr_above_expectedFloat64Home runs actually hit minus xhr_neutral, so it grades over- and under-performance against the park-neutral expectation rather than the park-adjusted one.

Returns

col_nametypedescription
catcher_idStringMLBAM identifier of the receiving catcher, taken from Savant's fielder_2 and published as a string rather than an integer.
takesUInt32Called strikes plus balls the catcher received across the season, a pure workload count; the framing figures themselves sum only over the shadow-zone subset of these.
framing_runsFloat64Runs saved by receiving, summing actual called strike minus modeled strike probability times that count's strike run value over shadow-zone takes only.
strikes_gainedFloat64The same shadow-zone sum of actual called strike minus modeled strike probability left unweighted by run value, so it measures stolen strikes rather than runs.

pitcherInt64Whether the position is a pitcher.
pitch_typeStringAbbreviation of the pitch type thrown (e.g. FF, SL, CH).
stuff_rv_hatFloat64Mean predicted per-pitch run value from the bundled xgboost stuff model over this pitcher's pitches of this type, on Savant's batter-perspective delta_run_exp scale so lower is better for the pitcher.
stuff_plusFloat64Stuff+ on the 100-is-average scale, exactly 100 minus 10 times (stuff_rv_hat minus the league mean) over the league SD, so higher is better and outlier run-value predictions can push it well below zero.

Returns

col_nametypedescription
pitcherInt64Whether the position is a pitcher.
location_rv_hatFloat64Mean predicted per-pitch run value from the bundled location model, which sees plate location, count, handedness and pitch type but no raw pitch physics; lower is better for the pitcher.
command_plusFloat64Command+/Location+ on the 100-is-average scale, exactly 100 minus 10 times (location_rv_hat minus the league mean) over the league SD; it grades where the pitch finished, not intent, since Statcast ships no catcher target.
