base_state | String | Three-character pre-play base occupancy where each slot carries its base number when occupied and an underscore when empty, so ___ is bases empty and 123 is bases loaded. |
outs | Int64 | Outs in the inning after the play. |
re | Float64 | Mean runs the batting team went on to score from this base-out state through the end of the half-inning, with bottom-of-the-9th-and-later halves excluded to avoid walk-off selection bias. |
n | UInt32 | Plate appearances observed starting in this base-out state, the sample size behind re. |
season | Int64 | Season year. |

inning_capped | Int64 | Inning number with the ninth and every extra inning collapsed into 9, so extras share the ninth-inning win-expectancy cells. |
half | String | Half of the game (1 or 2). |
base_state | String | Three-character pre-play base occupancy where each slot carries its base number when occupied and an underscore when empty, so ___ is bases empty and 123 is bases loaded. |
outs_start | Int64 | Outs already recorded when the plate appearance began, normally 0 through 2, though a handful of published rows carry a stale 3 that the RE24 matrix filters out but this table does not. |
score_diff_bucket | Int64 | Home score minus away score before the play, clipped to the range -6 through +6 so blowouts collapse into the end buckets. |
home_win_exp | Float64 | Home team win expectancy before the play. |
n | UInt32 | Plate appearances observed in this state bucket, the sample size behind the Laplace-smoothed home_win_exp. |
season | Int64 | Season year. |

batter | Int64 | MLBAM player id of the batter. |
season | Int64 | Season year. |
pa | Int64 | Statcast rows charged to the batter for the season, counting balls in play carrying launch data plus every other pitch, so it is a pitch-row total rather than a true plate-appearance count. |
ab | Int64 | At-bats. |
xwoba | Float64 | Expected 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. |
xba | Float64 | Sum of grid-predicted hit probability over the batter's balls in play divided by ab, which lands far below conventional batting-average scale because ab counts pitch rows rather than at-bats. |
xslg | Float64 | Sum of grid-predicted total bases over the batter's balls in play divided by ab, which lands far below conventional slugging scale because ab counts pitch rows rather than at-bats. |

hr | Int64 | Home runs hit by the batter over the covered sample. |
xhr_neutral | Float64 | Park-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_adj | Float64 | The 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_expected | Float64 | Home runs actually hit minus xhr_neutral, so it grades over- and under-performance against the park-neutral expectation rather than the park-adjusted one. |

fielder_id | String | MLBAM identifier of the fielder charged with the ball in play, resolved from whichever fielder_N column matches the responsible position and published as a string rather than an integer. |
position | Int64 | Listed roster position (G, F, C, etc.). |
opportunities | UInt32 | Balls in play charged to this fielder at this position, the sample the oaa sum runs over. |
oaa | Float64 | Outs above average: outs the fielder actually recorded minus what a per-position catch-probability logistic expected from the same batted-ball trajectories, summed across their opportunities. |

catcher_id | String | MLBAM identifier of the receiving catcher, taken from Savant's fielder_2 and published as a string rather than an integer. |
takes | UInt32 | Called 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_runs | Float64 | Runs saved by receiving, summing actual called strike minus modeled strike probability times that count's strike run value over shadow-zone takes only. |
strikes_gained | Float64 | The 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. |

x_era | Float64 | ERA-scale conversion of x_woba as league_era plus (x_woba minus league_woba) over woba_scale times pa_per_9, an exact linear function of x_woba that can go negative for extreme pitchers. |

pitch_type | String | Abbreviation of the pitch type thrown (e.g. FF, SL, CH). |
stuff_rv_hat | Float64 | Mean 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_plus | Float64 | Stuff+ 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. |

location_rv_hat | Float64 | Mean 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_plus | Float64 | Command+/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. |
