How the second basemen list is ranked
Players are listed at their primary position and ranked by season NUT — weighted runs above average from wOBA, divided by runs per win. Defense is left out. Only players past the qualifying bar for the season so far are included, the same bar as the Stats leaderboard. Grades use the season scale: S is elite, C is around league average.
