it appears to me that for some reason searching for the 2024 players (position and pitcher) by "First" (rookies) is not working correctly...just lists very few...seems other season's search by "First" is working well

has anyone else experienced this?

I have experienced this also. It is the way their data is set up. When looking at the player spreadsheets, they have columns for first seasons and last seasons. A "1" in the first season indicates it is a rookie season, a "1" in the last season indicates a final season. Zeros in those columns indicate those seasons are neither rookie nor final seasons. Most of the 2024 columns have "NULL" instead of 0's or 1's. Without the correct 1's in the rookie season column, the WiS won't be able to identify them as rookies.

This also occurred for 2022 and 2023 players releases. Once a new season of players are released, it appears the columns are updated. 2022 and 2023 have mostly 0's and 1's now. Once 2025 players are released, 2024 should be corrected. Not sure on WiS's processes and why the "NULL" is most of the 2024 columns instead of the correct 0's and 1's.

This seems to happen every year.
