NUT Report #6 — Shea Langeliers Bashes .481
Hey nuts. We're 5 weeks into the 2026 season and the NUT leaderboard is already telling stories the box scores don't. The Atlanta Braves lead the league at 24-10, while the New York Mets are struggling at 11-22. Here's what stood out from the week.
What's New on the App
A few things shipped this week worth poking around:
- Live at-bat module on game pages — field diagram with runner names, strike-zone pitch sequence, between-innings due-up. Updates as the game does.
- Tracker upgrades — playoff odds, time-window views, and percentile sections on every team page.
- xNUT and ERA-NUT now appear in player percentile rankings. Open any player profile to see how their expected NUT (from quality of contact) and ERA-NUT (actual run prevention) stack up against the league.
NUT of the Week

Shea Langeliers couldn't stop getting hits. 13-for-27 with 2 HR and 4 RBI is the kind of contact quality + extra-base power that NUT is built to reward. +0.7 says he was one of the most valuable players in baseball over the last seven days.

NUT Insight
On the other end, Sal Stewart had a rough week — -0.5 NUT. He hit .080 with 0 HR and 0 RBI. NUT doesn't forgive empty at-bats. Every strikeout and every groundout drags the number down. Early season or not, that's a stretch CIN needs him to snap out of.

That's a wrap. The numbers will shift — they always do this early — but the players holding steady in NUT's top 5 week after week are the real deal. Keep an eye on them.
