- Personal watchlist with projected milestone dates based on current pace

Diaz's 1,000-game milestone is one of dozens this season — fans want a single feed for them rather than learning about each after the fact.
Milestones consistently draw media coverage (Yandy Diaz 1,000 games/hits, Arenado 2,000 hits, Schwarber 350 HR, Chapman approaching record, Sale 150 wins, Ramirez 300/300 chase), and Google Trends spike on 'yandy diaz' confirms fan interest, though it is a niche subsegment of MLB fans.Rays' Yandy Diaz feels old, happy about reaching 1,000-game milestone ↗2026 MLB Milestones and Records Tracker: Nolan Arenado Gets 2,000th Hit ↗
Fox Sports and Baseball-Reference publish retroactive milestone trackers, but none offers a personalized per-player watchlist with proactive push notifications when a favorite is approaching a round number — that specific gap is open.MLB Milestone Watch: Hits - Baseball-Reference.com ↗Milestone Tracker - Kens Cool Cards ↗
Standalone subscription for milestone pings is hard to justify against free MLB.com/news coverage and free tracker pages; would need to bundle into fantasy or broader MLB+ ecosystem — direct willingness-to-pay evidence is thin.MLB+ Package | Buy MLB+ | MLB.com ↗
MLB career milestones are an evergreen, season-after-season story, but the feature is a natural add-on for MLB.com, fantasy apps (Fantrax, ESPN), or push-notification incumbents — risk of being absorbed.
Public MLB Stats API (statsapi.mlb.com) exposes game logs, career totals, and pace projections; push notifications via Firebase/APNs are off-the-shelf — a single developer can ship an MVP in weeks.
