Baseball Nut started as a scores app — live MLB scores without the ads, gambling odds, and autoplay videos that plague every other option. But scores are just the starting point. To really follow the game, you need tools that help you analyze, compare, and make decisions.

That's why we built five free tools, all powered by the NUT Score — a single metric that measures how many wins a player adds to their team using only hitting and pitching. Here's what each one does and why it matters.

1. Trending Players

The Trending Players page ranks the hottest hitters and pitchers over the last 7 days by NUT accumulation. It updates daily and shows the stats that directly feed each player's NUT — hits, home runs, walks, and HBP for hitters; strikeouts, walks, and home runs allowed for pitchers.

This is the fastest way to spot who's heating up before the rest of your league notices. Tap the + button to add anyone directly to your Player Tracker.

2. Player Tracker

The Player Tracker is your personal watchlist. Add up to 40 players and monitor their season stats, NUT Scores, and status — active, injured, suspended, or free agent — all in one place. Players are automatically sorted by NUT so your most valuable assets are always at the top.

No account required. Your watchlist saves locally on your device. Add players from the Stats leaderboard, Trending Players, or any player profile.

3. Player Comparison

Want to settle a debate? The Player Comparison tool lets you pick any two MLB players — active or retired — and see their stats side-by-side. Every category is compared head-to-head, with the leader highlighted so you can spot the edge at a glance.

Compare specific seasons or full careers. Judge vs Ohtani in 2025. Jeter vs A-Rod career. Ruth vs Gehrig. Every comparison gets a shareable link so you can send it to whoever you're arguing with.

4. Trade Analyzer

The Trade Analyzer helps you evaluate fantasy baseball trades using rest-of-season NUT projections. Add up to 5 players to each side and instantly see the win differential — which team gains more projected value.

Projections blend current season pace with last year's track record, so a slow start doesn't tank a proven player's value. A built-in confidence indicator shows how reliable each projection is based on games played. Works for head-to-head, roto, or points leagues.

5. Lineup Builder

The Lineup Builder generates an optimized batting order from your roster. Enter each player's AVG, OBP, and SLG — manually, via CSV upload, or by searching MLB players — and the algorithm slots them into the lineup designed to maximize run production.

High-OBP hitters lead off to get on base. Your best overall bat hits third. Power hitters clean up. The bottom of the order fills by OPS. It works for fantasy baseball, rec leagues, Little League, high school, or any level of play.

Why NUT Powers Everything

Every tool on Baseball Nut is built around one idea: measuring player value should be simple, transparent, and consistent. The NUT Score does that by stripping out unreliable defensive metrics and focusing on what we can measure precisely — what happened at the plate and on the mound.

Unlike WAR, NUT gives you the same number everywhere. One metric. One scale. Hitters and pitchers measured in wins. That's what makes it possible to compare a slugger to an ace, evaluate a fantasy trade across positions, or rank every player on a single leaderboard.

All Free. No Catches.

Every tool is free. No subscription, no account creation, no ads, no gambling integrations. They work on any device with a browser and install as a progressive web app on your phone's home screen.
