Player Stats: Hot and Cold (MLB) Pirates MLB roster only. Hitters sorted by trailing wOBA; pitchers by FIP. Cold-list quality gates: hitters need wOBA below .290, pitchers need FIP above 3.75. Same player can never appear on both hot AND cold lists.

Player Stats: Hot and Cold (Minor Leagues) Pirates minor-league system. Top tab row picks affiliate (Minors rollup combines all four). Hitters sorted by wOBA; pitchers by ERA (FIP isn't published at affiliate level). Per-affiliate views skip the cold-list quality gate because each pool is too small to spare a name.

Player Stats: Current Pace In 2026 Linear extrapolation of each player's end-of-year stats over a full season based on current totals.

Player Stats: Luck - Over & Underperformers Actual minus expected wOBA (wOBA − xwOBA). Positive (green) = results have outrun the quality of contact — lucky, cooling likely. Negative (red) = better contact than the box score shows — unlucky, bounce-back likely. Pitchers use xwOBA-against − wOBA-against, so positive still reads as lucky, and their wOBA/xwOBA columns are against. Ranked by season luck; a window cell shows "—" until it clears a minimum sample (≈10/18/30/40 PA for 7d/14d/30d/season).

🍀 Luckiest — overperforming, regression likely

🌧️ Unluckiest — underperforming, bounce-back likely

Schedule Upcoming probable pitchers + each opponent's team-level strength. Probables shows today plus the next 9 games with "Last three" stats per starter; Opponents' Team ERA & OPS shows each opponent's season ERA + OPS as of today, past + upcoming chronologically.

Scouting: Upcoming Opponents {nextOppContext} Three views of the opponent's 40-man over recent windows. Top tab row picks which opponent — the team we're currently facing or the one coming after; each tab carries the series date range. Hot/Cold mirrors the Pirates Hot/Cold MLB panel (7d / 14d, hitters sorted by wOBA, pitchers by FIP, cold-list gates: hitters wOBA below .290, pitchers FIP above 3.75, same player can't appear on both lists). Probable starters in the upcoming series are flagged with a * in Hot/Cold and a blue card border in trailing FIP. Trailing 30d wRC+ and FIP show player cards with rolling-trend sparklines (15-game wRC+ for batters, 5-appearance FIP for pitchers; sparkline is trimmed to the same 30-day window as the headline number; dashed reference line at the 100 / 3.10 league baseline). Sample-size gates: 10 PA / 2 IP for 7d, 15 PA / 3 IP for 14d, 30 PA / 6 IP for 30d. Card colors: wRC+ green ≥110 / red ≤90; FIP green ≤3.50 / red ≥4.50 (good pitcher = tough matchup).

Offense: Rolling Player Cards (wRC+) One card per Pirates hitter (≥15 PA). Headline is trailing-30-day wRC+ (100 = league avg, ≥110 above, ≤90 below). Sparkline is rolling-15-game wRC+ trimmed to the same 30-day window; dashed line marks the 100 baseline. Cards sorted hottest at top.

Offense: Power, RISP, Regression and wRC+ Trackers Power & RISP: green is above league average, red is below. Regression: Green means regression likely. Red means player has been unlucky. wRC+ tab: 100 = league average; ≥110 green, ≤90 red.

Offense: Team Numbers, Last 14 Days Each card is the trailing-14-game team rate, sparkline showing how it has moved per game. Dashed line in each sparkline is the MLB league average; sparkline color (green/red) and the bottom-row league number flag where the Pirates sit vs that mark.

Batter L/R Splits Every batter on the 40-man with ≥50 total PAs this season. Bat-side column shows L / R / S (switch). OPS vs each pitcher hand with sample size in parens. Δ column compares the two sides — only shown for switch hitters since for L/R batters the platoon advantage is a tautology. Default sort: switch hitters first by smallest absolute delta (truest balanced switch hitters), then non-switch by PA. Click any column to re-sort.

Pitching: Rolling Player Cards FIP tab: trailing-30-day FIP per pitcher with rolling-5-appearance spark. Velo tab: most-recent-outing fastball velocity per pitcher with rolling spark vs season avg. Tabs at the top switch between the two views.

Pitching: Bullpen Avails, Recent Stats Per-reliever workload (last 10 days), recent 3/10-day form, and 3/10-day strand rate + whiff rate. Workload cells show pitch count per day, colored by intensity — pale yellow = light outing, deep red = heavy. Availability is a heuristic from recent workload (≥25 pitches in the last game OR ≥3 appearances in last 4 days = "tired"; ≥3 days rest = "fresh"). Off days count as rest and show as OFF in the grid. Source: Baseball Savant + MLB Stats API. This data is usually slower to show up on the following day after a game.

Pitching: Pitch Mix Changes Pitch-mix shift detection (season baseline vs last 3 outings). Detects when a pitcher's last-3-outings pitch usage drifts more than 5 percentage points from their season baseline.

Pitching: Team Numbers, Last 14 Days Each card is the trailing-14-game team pitching rate, sparkline showing how it has moved per game. Dashed line is the MLB league average; for pitching stats lower is better (ERA, FIP, xwOBA against, BB/9, HR/9, hard-hit %), so green = below league.

Fielding: Outs Above Average Tracker OAA per Pirates fielder this season, with each player's primary position's MLB league average for context. Sorted by OAA descending.

ABS Challenges Each player's challenger record (challenges THEY initiated), split by role. Total = challenges the player made, Correct = call overturned, Incorrect = call confirmed. Source: Baseball Savant. The role pill (While Batting / While Catching / While Pitching) shows the player's record in that context only — a catcher's "While Catching" row excludes their batting-context challenges, and vice versa. Team-aggregate cards above are the franchise total across every player and every role.
