MLB Award Finalists 2026 vs NUT: Witt Ranks 64th, Rumfield Left Out
2026 MLB Award Finalists by NUT
The SEASON NUT leader is a finalist in 7 of the 8 player races for the 2026 MLB awards. The exception is NL Rookie of the Year, where TJ Rumfield (+3.0) was not picked, and the lowest MVP finalist is Bobby Witt Jr. (+1.2, #64 among MLB hitters). Values are final 2026 regular-season NUT as of November 3.
Finalists were announced November 2. NUT is one number for production against league average, built on the advanced hitting and pitching stats analysts trust, not batting average or ERA. Defense is left out and no park factor is applied, and voters can weigh both. That matters most for infielders like Witt and Turang and for Rumfield, who plays half his games at Coors Field.
