Baseball Savant API
pybaseball and MLB-StatsAPI are the go-to python wrappers for the official MLB API.
- Data sources for MLB ABs?

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?
Check out the docs here: https://github.com/jldbc/pybaseball/blob/master/docs/playerid_reverse_lookup.md

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.
