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.

NUT of the Week
Shea Langeliers — ATH · C
+0.7 NUT · .481 AVG, 2 HR, 4 RBI · 13-for-27
Shea Langelierscouldn'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 showing up in NUT's top 5 week after week are the ones actually driving wins. Keep an eye on them.
