How to interpret mysql output in shell script?

What I try:

player=tester111

id=$(mysql -h "127.0.0.1" -u "myuser" -ppassword "database" -e \
  "SELECT id FROM login WHERE name='$player';")

echo $id

The following output appears:

id 223

How to get ONLY 223 as output?

I am new to stackoverflow, feel free to comment so I can improve my asking skills.

Use the -N switch when executing your query. -N is for skipping column name and thus you will get only values returned (that is 223 returned) like

id=$(mysql -N -h "127.0.0.1" -u "myuser" -ppassword "database" -e \
  "SELECT id FROM login WHERE name='$player';")
