From the What is AthX? pillar
MLB player shares explained
On AthX, MLB player shares are fractional positions you trade in a marketplace—priced with performance and supply/demand context—not a one-night DFS lineup.
Season-long projections and fantasy scoring are powered by AthX Engine (our projection and scoring system). This page walks through the idea in plain terms; for the full product snapshot, start at What is AthX?.
What “shares” means here
You are not buying equity in a public company. You are holding a sport-trading position tied to an MLB player (or team elsewhere on the site) within AthX rules. Price moves when performance and market activity move.
If you want the category frame first, read Sport trading explained — then return here for the MLB-specific wording.
AthX Engine: projections & fantasy points
When articles reference AthX fantasy points or season projections, that analytical layer is AthX Engine—the platform’s named projection and scoring system. Engine outputs help traders compare performance context to market price.
For pricing mechanics (not the same thing as daily fantasy points), read Dynamic pricing explained.
