Sorry, I can be very literal, so I was looking for 'feedPlays' online.
The new Savant hosted at mlb.com is directly tied into MLB's database, so there's no need to scrape. In case you didn't know, this is because Darren was hired by MLB as director of stat R&D.
I've known Cory Schwartz, VP of Stats, for many years and got to hang out with him and Darren at this year's SABR Analytics Conference.
The statsAPI is missing some plays when it takes the stringer too long to enter the manual portion of the data that feeds Gameday. This is not an issue at baseballsavant.mlb.com. The Trackman radar that feeds Statcast gives vertical angle and exit velo for every batted ball, and those are available at the new Savant.
Cory said that additional data will be released when he's comfortable that it's 'clean' enough. I had suggested (hoped) that it be made retroactive and it appears they did this on the new Savant. Cory also said that the commissioner is on-board with making new stats public, so stuff is coming (although it may not be in a file called pregumbo)
Also, I believe the combined file with pitch and batted ball data was an idea stolen from me. While in Phoenix I mentioned to both of them that I had done this with my own data (pitches and play by play acquired with BBOS and batted ball data with my own Statcast scraper) and a month later saw that same format when Savant launched at mlb.com.
Trackman should also be able to provide an xy value for the landing and/or retrieval spot for the ball. I have the values from the new Savant for 2015 but have not cross-referenced them yet with the xy values from gameday's hit table to see of they are the same.

you should get the same stuff you see on baseball savants. savants has batted ball angle and I don't get where he is getting that from. to the best of my knowledge all we have is the location the ball was fielded.
and baseball savants has matched the pitch to the feed information for you. I'd like to know his algorithm for that because a couple people had that same question.
mlb stopped publishing that pregumbo file almost as quickly as they published it, and they removed the files if I remember right so there will never be anything in that table. the statcast data is in the "feedPlays" table.
I'm using the latest 6.5 version of BBOS, but I'm not seeing that anythign is being populated in the pregumbohits table? Is there an update? Issue on my side? Or is the data just not available?
Update on pregumbohits / statcast data availability?
