Context

What V1 Shows Publicly

Only fields already produced by the current model output.

Season and Last 5 K Rate

These explain whether the projection is being driven by the pitcher’s current strikeout baseline or more recent form.

Opponent Context

Opponent K Rate Last 14 Days

This is the cleanest public-facing opponent context from the current feature set without overloading the table.

Workload Context

Outs Per Start, Rest, Starts

These help frame expected length, freshness, and how stable the current-season sample is for each pitcher.
