[Python] Inverse Transform ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together

I'm working through a baseball stats forecaster. I'm virtually complete, after having resolved numerous issues with the original model I pulled from a YouTube video. But I'm stuck at the very end, where I want to compile a summary df of the work.

At the point in question, I'm trying to revert my data back to its original values. Earlier in the program, I scaled numerous columns (labeled selected_columns) via MinMax Scaler and specifically, with this line:

batting.loc[:, selected_columns] = scaler.fit_transform(batting[selected_columns])

At the end of the program, I want to get back to the original data and tried doing so by using the following (upcoming_season is a dataframe of the next year's players along with their player_id, team, and all their stats which are set to 0 since they haven't played yet):

upcoming_season = upcoming_season.drop(['Name', 'Team', 'H', 'L-Hits', 'Next_Hits', 'player_season', 'h_diff'], axis=1)
next_season = pd.DataFrame(upcoming_season)
next_season = next_season.apply(pd.to_numeric)
inverse_next_season = scaler.inverse_transform(next_season)


The error I receive is generated by the last line (the inverse_transform line). Here is the Traceback:

ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[82], line 1

What I can't figure out is where the "third" dataset (137,) is coming from.

I can include additional code, but I don't know what would be necessary to help you help me. So if you let me know what more may be useful, I'll be happy to comply.

I was only able to find two other questions that were somewhat similar, but not enough to help me with this specific situation.
