One row per franchise: a club that moved or changed its name is one row under its current name. TB (Tampa Bay Rays) includes Tampa Bay Devil Rays 2000. The Career row is the sum of the club rows. OPS+ and ERA+ use the plate-appearance (or outs) weighted league average of the seasons in each row, not park-adjusted. LWAR for a season split between clubs is divided by plate appearances (batting) or outs (pitching).

Regular-season minor-league lines from MLB StatsAPI, listed for players whose major-league career reaches 2005 or later. A season with more than one stint at a level is one row and the Team cell names each club. Org is the parent club that year. Lvl is the level: AAA, AA, A+ (High-A), A (Single-A), SS-A (short-season A, before 2021) and ROK (rookie and complex leagues, with the Dominican Summer League). Total rows add the lines above them and recompute the rates from the sums; a level with one line is its own total. - means the source has no value. The service has no minor-league lines before 1988 and only some from 1988 to 1991, so the oldest seasons may be missing. Method, credits on sources.

Runs above average or replacement, by component: Bat = batting runs, Run = baserunning, DP = double-play avoidance, Pos = positional adjustment, Fld = fielding, Lg = league re-centering, Repl = the replacement-level credit for playing time, Pitch = pitching runs above replacement. LWAR = the runs added up and divided by that year's runs per win. Career LWAR splits into 0.2 as a hitter and 3.4 as a pitcher. Fielding comes from a zone model that is validated from 1988 on; catcher and pitcher defense and park effects are not included. Formulas and limits: the career stats method; what a win is worth in dollars: the $/LWAR model page.

Postseason lines by series, newest first. Rounds: ALCS AL Championship Series. Lines through 2025 come from the baseball database; the 2026 lines are summed from the box scores of every 2026 postseason game. The 1981 division series carry the ALDS and NLDS codes. A pitcher who never batted shows no batting line.

Team codes are the standard display code for each club's era: White Sox rows show CHW, and the 1993-2011 Marlins show FLA for the Florida era. Clubs of the earliest recorded seasons that have no standard display code keep their historical code (e.g. PH1, the 1871 Philadelphia club). OPS+, wRC+, ERA+ and FIP are league-season normalized, not park-adjusted; unrecorded source values (such as RBI in the earliest recorded seasons) are absent, never zero-filled. A club cell links to the franchise page when the franchise is still in the league.
