Career year-by-year batting/pitching lines for one MLB player.

Tool description as the model sees it

Year-by-year MLB batting and/or pitching statistics for one player’s whole career, from the SABR Lahman Baseball Database (1871-2025). Pass a player NAME (“Babe Ruth”, “Walter Johnson”) or an exact Lahman player_id (e.g. “ruthba01”) — a name is resolved by exact then fuzzy match; if more than one player matches, a list of candidates (with player_id, birth year, debut) is returned instead of a guess, so the caller can re-ask with the exact player_id. Returns every season the player appears in Batting.csv and/or Pitching.csv (most players have only one; a few, like Babe Ruth, have both). Each season row has team, league, games and the standard counting stats. Unknown or ambiguous names are refused with a clear error/candidate-list, never an empty success.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`player`	string	yes	Player name (“Hank Aaron”) or exact Lahman player_id (“aaronha01”).
