Verified historical season data

Season statistics and career context come from official MLB Stats API responses. Similarity is deterministic; unavailable advanced metrics remain N/A.

Similarity is not a career prediction. Scores compare standardized differences among available MLB season metrics. League context is limited because MLB Stats API does not expose OPS+ or ERA+ here; careers before and after the matched season are context, not a forecast.
