Editorial Policy

How automated statistics become publishable claims.

Evidence first

Counts come from reproducible source records and declared definitions. A striking headline never overrides the underlying denominator, occurrence list or source window.

Automation

Live findings and daily recaps are generated from structured game data. Automated output is constrained by tested rules, and source links are provided so readers can inspect individual games.

Independence

Statgami is independent of MLB, Retrosheet, teams, sportsbooks and players. Rankings are editorial presentation, not paid placement.

Updates

Historical indexes are rebuilt in batches and current-season data is added from live feeds. Pages display scope and freshness so an update delay is visible.
