How the six feedback columns work
Jersey number is the gentlest column: exact number goes green, matching tens digit goes yellow. A white result still tells you a lot — it rules out an entire tens band.
Team is all or nothing. There is no yellow here, so a white team result is one of the strongest eliminations on the board.
Division sits between the two: exact division is green, same league is yellow. American and National League rosters are different sizes, so the yellow result narrows things more than it feels like.
Birthplace is the other all-or-nothing column. Most of the pool was born in the USA or the Dominican Republic, so an exact hit here barely moves the needle — a miss is the useful result.
Age scores within two years as yellow. Players debut across a wide age range, which makes this column noisier than the number suggests.
Position groups infielders (1B, 2B, 3B, SS) and outfielders (LF, CF, RF); same group is yellow. Catchers and designated hitters belong to no group, so they only ever read green or white.
