- APP% – Player appearance percentage. Found by dividing player games started over teams games played. (NOTE: This will be updated to remove games missed for injury soon.)
- 1st, 2nd, 3rd…etc – Batting Order Position. The accompanying percentage represents what percent of games a player has started at that spot in the batting order. (NOTE: NL Teams do not have 9th included because that is reserved for pitchers almost always.)
- vs. L/R – This depicts situational hitters. Players with “vs. LHP” or “vs. RHP” play, for the most parrt, in games where they are facing either a left or right handed starter.
