selenium python - unable to find a hidden element in table

You can use selenium to load the page, and then BeautifulSoup to find the player attributes:

from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup
import re
import collections
player = collections.namedtuple('player', ['name', 'position', 'stats'])
d = webdriver.Chrome('/Users/jamespetullo/Downloads/chromedriver')
d.get('http://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=370403101')
player_names = iter([b.text for b in soup(d.page_source, 'lxml').find_all('td', {'class':'name'})])
full_stats = [i.text for i in h.find_all('td', {'class':re.compile('batting-stats')})]
final_results = {next(player_names):full_stats[i:i+11] for i in range(0, len(full_stats), 11)}
final_players = [player(*[re.sub('[A-Z\d\-\s\(\),]+$', '', a), (lambda x:'N/A' if not x else x[0])(re.findall('[A-Z\d\-\s\(\),]+$', a)), b]) for a, b in final_results.items()]

Output:

The result also yields the full stats for "D. Travis":

[u'2-6', u'6', u'0', u'2', u'0', u'0', u'2', u'16', u'.333', u'.333', u'.333']

Assuming that moving forward you may need to extract the statistics of several players from several tables I have modified your program as follows :

• Code Block :

  from selenium import webdriver
  
  link = 'http://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=370403101'
  options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
  options.add_argument("start-maximized")
  options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
  driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
  driver.get("http://www.google.com")
  driver.get(link)
  item_name_away = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='boxscore-2017__team-name' and contains(.,'Blue Jays Hitting')]//following::table[1]/thead//th[@class='name']").text
  player_name_away = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='boxscore-2017__team-name' and contains(.,'Blue Jays Hitting')]//following::table[1]/tbody//td//span").text
  print("%s : %s" %(item_name_away, player_name_away)) 
  attributes = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[@class='boxscore-2017__team-name' and contains(.,'Blue Jays Hitting')]//following::table[1]/thead//th[starts-with(@class,'batting-stats-')]")
  values = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[@class='boxscore-2017__team-name' and contains(.,'Blue Jays Hitting')]//following::table[1]/tbody[@class='athletes' and @data-athlete-id='32938']//tr[@class='baseball-lineup__player-row']/td[starts-with(@class,'batting-stats-')]")
  for attribute, value in zip(attributes, values):
      print(attribute.text, value.text)
  

• Console Output :

  HITTERS : D. Travis
  
  AB 6
  R 0
  H 2
  RBI 0
  BB 0
  K 2
  
  AVG .333
  OBP .333
  SLG .333
  

Note : Neither the column header P nor it's value 16 is represented in the UI so Selenium would be able to extract it.
