Access Question
I don't know if you're using python, but even if not, there's info about the endpoints on the MLB-StatsAPI python wrapper wiki here.
- Innings data — am I calling the right API?
-
How to make a smaller call to https://statsapi.mlb.com/?
Yes, there are endpoints to get subsets of the game/live endpoint. The endpoints are documented here. You'll probably be interested in game_boxscore, game_linescore, and game_playByPlay.

Baseball Savant API
pybaseball and MLB-StatsAPI are the go-to python wrappers for the official MLB API.
- Data sources for MLB ABs?
-
Python for Baseball
The MLB-StatsAPI is really good too. The creator is active on the data sub, and I think is the mod of the sub.
-
API Endpoints?
The public endpoints are listed here. There is a statcast endpoint that's not listed there, but it requires authentication and MLB only gives access to teams and affiliates.

Python OOP Module for MLB Stats API ready for input
There are still several things that need completion, reactors, and documentation. If you are familiar with toddrob99's wrapper then some of this might be familiar. I must thank Toddrob for his work as we used a lot of his wiki and documentation to get started. https://github.com/toddrob99/MLB-StatsAPI

Looking for Spray Angle Data from this season (preferably)
I think pybaseball includes spray angle in their statcast() data frame! And if not, there definitely is the (x,y) location of where the ball landed, so you could probably do some trig to calculate that too.

Anyone willing to help create a webscrape for first pitch data?

Python Code help
I think a lot of what you're looking to do though can be accomplished a bit easier by utilizing pre-existing Python libraries like Pybaseball.

MLB Stats API Application time?
most folks without direct access to mlb's api scrape baseball savant's data api. packages like baseballr or pybaseball can help with this. remember, this is in the open on a trust model: no commercial use, and don't hammer the api.
