Definitions

Plain-language meanings for the labels and denominators used throughout Statgami.

Game

One completed major-league game in the applicable source window. Postseason games are excluded unless a page explicitly says otherwise.

Team-game

One team's side of one game. A single game normally contributes two team-games.

Occurrence

One qualifying player, team, game or play. More than one occurrence can come from the same game when the definition permits it.

Box-score shape

A particular value or combination in a team's final line—for example 20 runners left on base or a 10-10 singles/extra-base-hit split.

Most recent

The latest qualifying event present in that page's stated source window and build, not a claim about records outside that scope.

Rarity score

A 0–100 presentation score based on observed frequency, used to rank the live board. It is not an official MLB statistic or a predicted probability.
