Starting pitchers
The comparison waits until both starters are announced.
Bars share one scale per row, the larger of the two values. Lower is better for BB%, HR / 9 and ERA; pitches per start is neither.
SourceBox score pitching lines per start; K% and BB% per batter faced, as the stat glossary defines them.Small samplesLast 3 starts is a short window and the toggle keeps that label, so the window is never hidden.When missingStarter not announced: the card shows the club mark and TBD in place of the rates, and the comparison waits. A game summary of his club that is not verified complete leaves the regular-season totals, the last-three window and, when it may be later than his last recorded work, the rest N/A; the recorded starts are still drawn.

SourceEach boxscore's pitching line (pitches, innings, earned runs) per appearance; roles from regular-season saves and holds, then average innings in relief; the relief band summed from the same boxscores over the three and seven days before the game, counting regular season and postseason games. A starter is a pitcher whose last outing was a start, however long ago; an opener, a short start by an arm who mostly relieves, stays listed and that inning counts as work. Starters excluded: Drew Rasmussen, Freddy Peralta, Griffin Jax, Nick Martinez, Jacob Misiorowski, Logan Henderson, Robert Gasser.Small samplesEvery cell is a full pitch count, so there is no sample rule; a dot is no appearance that day, and an off day reads the same. For game 2 of a doubleheader the last column is game 1 today, and after a suspended game finished earlier in the day it is that game.When missingNo recorded appearance in five days shows five dots and the Fresh flag; a reliever with no boxscore line yet is not listed; an appearance whose pitch count was not recorded reads N/A and leaves the three-day total N/A. A day a suspended game may have put work on, or whose game summary is not verified complete, reads ? and leaves the flag and the three-day total N/A; an arm with such a game has no role, ERA or games, and the relief band for a window holding one reads N/A.

Sample dot: clay under 10 PA, tan under 30, grass at 30 or more. Hitters who have never faced the starter keep only their platoon line.
SourceTeam K% over every regular-season plate appearance before this game, bench included, which is why the card says offense rather than lineup; pitcher K% from his game logs; batter against pitcher from MLB's record of their meetings.Small samplesThe sample dot follows the table legend; both team rates show their plate appearances in the read.When missingNever faced means MLB's record, taken before first pitch, shows no meeting; History unavailable means that record could not be checked before first pitch. Both keep the platoon line only; a hitter without a split from before first pitch shows N/A.
