Regular season and postseason, the games ESPN carries.
What it does not have
- ESPN does not carry every Division I game (it has 1,761 to 5,363 final games a season since 2015, 553 in 2020), and before 2015 only the postseason. The season table shows each year.
- Box scores and play-by-play exist for part of each season's games: box scores only for about 150 a season in 2015 to 2017; box scores and play-by-play for 324 games in 2020 and about 800 to 1,550 a season since 2021.
- No pitch-by-pitch rows, pitch types, velocities or batted-ball locations, and no injury report.
- Sportsbook lines from 2023: 4.7 books a game on 542 games in 2023 and 4.2 on 2,016 games in 2024 (each operator counted once), one book a game since.
