MLB Stats Scraper

⚾ MLB Stats Scraper

Get Major League Baseball data straight from the official MLB Stats API: division standings, schedules and final scores, season hitting, pitching and fielding lines, box scores per team or per player, rosters with player bios, league leaderboards and all 30 clubs. Every row is flat and ready for Excel, Google Sheets or a database. No login, no API key, and small runs usually finish in 5 to 7 seconds.

✨ Why use MLB Stats Scraper?

• 🧰 Seven datasets in one actor: standings, schedule and scores, player stats, box scores, rosters, leaders and teams.
• 📅 Many seasons in one run: ask for 2026, 2020-2026 or any season back to 1876, and every row is tagged with its season.
• 🧾 Richer rows: winning, losing and save pitchers, probable starters, inning-by-inning line scores, TV networks, home, away and last-10 records, expected W-L and per-player box score lines.
• 🔎 Teams by name: type Yankees, NYY or 147. All three work.
• 📊 Sorted stats: sort player stats by any stat (home runs, OPS, ERA...) and keep only qualified players.
• 💸 Cheap: $3.50 per 1,000 rows and no start fee.

🎯 Use cases

• 🏆 Fantasy baseball: nightly player stat pulls, box score lines and probable pitchers for lineup decisions.
• 📈 Betting and modelling: multi-season game results, run differentials and expected records for backtesting.
• 📰 Sports media and newsletters: standings tables, leaderboards and final scores without manual entry.
• 🧪 Data science: consistent, flat training sets across seasons and teams.

5. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read them through the API.

💰 Pricing

You pay $3.50 per 1,000 rows ($0.0035 per row), with no start fee. Examples:

• Full standings of one season (30 teams): about $0.11
• 1,000 rows: $3.50
• A full regular season of games (about 2,430): about $8.50

Platform usage (compute and proxy traffic) is billed on top. It is small because the actor only calls a JSON API: a typical small run uses well under one cent.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape MLB stats? The actor reads public data that MLB serves without a login. MLB's terms apply to how you reuse it, especially commercially, so check them before you republish the data.

Do I need a login, an API key or a proxy? No login and no key. The default datacenter proxy works well for this public API.

How many results can I get? As many as the source has: a full season of games is about 2,430 rows, and seasons go back to 1876. Set Maximum results to 0 for no limit.

How do I find team, player or game ids? You often don't need them: teams also work by abbreviation or name. Run Teams, Players or Schedule once to see every id, or paste mlb.com player and gameday URLs.

Why is a field empty? The source leaves some fields out, for example scores of games not played yet, probable pitchers not announced yet, or stat categories that were not tracked in early seasons.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule a daily run for standings or yesterday's box scores, or start runs and read results through the API.
