NUT Report #5 — Carlos Cortes Raking at .538
Happy Monday, nuts. Week 4 of the 2026 season is a wrap. The Atlanta Braves lead the league at 20-9, while the New York Mets are struggling at 9-19. Every plate appearance and every inning pitched gets measured by NUT. Here's who came out on top this week — and who didn't.
NUT of the Week
Carlos Cortes — ATH · LF
+0.9 NUT · .538 AVG, 3 HR, 7 RBI · 14-for-26
Carlos Cortesis seeing it as big as a beach ball right now. .538 on 14-for-26 hitting, 3 HR, 7 RBI. NUT picks up every hit and every extra base — +0.9 says he was the single most productive bat in baseball this week.
NUT Insight
Willy Adames's week was the opposite of productive. .037, 0 HR, 0 RBI — and -0.7 NUT. Every empty at-bat counts the same as a missed opportunity in NUT's math, and Willy Adames had too many of them. SF needs him better, fast.

That's a wrap. The numbers will shift — they always do this early — but the players showing up in NUT's top 5 week after week are the ones actually driving wins. Keep an eye on them.
