My baseball brain was built by the Mariners. Rooting for that club teaches you a specific kind of patience — showing up year after year for something that rarely hands you anything, and still finding a nine-inning reason to keep watching. It also taught me to love the parts nobody else was looking at: the bullpen arms coming in from the minors, the defensive tweaks, the numbers that told you a season was going sideways long before the record agreed.
Then I moved to Denver. I already had a soft spot for underdogs, and the Rockies turned that into a hobby — a team that can make any night at Coors Field feel winnable, in a park that asks completely different questions of every pitcher who steps on it. I stopped pretending I only had one team. Now I keep the Mariners heart and the Rockies in the same head, and I own the standings for both leagues so nobody can accuse me of picking favorites.
Sabermetric Seer is my excuse to live inside those numbers on purpose. It reads the public MLB Stats API and puts the data into the three tools I keep wishing existed: a leaderboard for every race I follow, standings that don't hide run differential, and a transaction wire so I can watch a roster get reshuffled in real time.
Nothing scraped, nothing paywalled, no account to make. It's the same feed MLB publishes — I just built the interface I wanted and left it running for anyone else who wants it.

Under the hood
The parts of this I'm proud of, and the reasons they matter to somebody who just wants to read about baseball.
Every number on this site comes from MLB's public Stats API. No key, no scraping, no nightly ETL job I have to babysit. Requests are cancelled when you change a filter, so hammering the season dropdown can't make an old response land on top of a new one.
TanStack Table drives the columns, shadcn-svelte styles them. Click any header to flip between ascending and descending, so 'who is the worst on base right now' is one click away.
Clicking a name opens a pop-up with the bio line, the last eight seasons of hitting and pitching, and career totals underneath. It's the same card whether you got there from leaders, standings or the transaction wire.
The leaderboards go all the way back to the season that invented the modern record book. Yes, you can sort Babe Ruth's home totals against today's, and yes, I have.
The whole thing follows your system theme, and the sidebar collapses into a sheet on mobile — because most of my baseball research happens in a line where I am not supposed to be on my phone.
