How to read the H leaders
The ranking is MLB's official hits leaderboard for the regular season, with qualifiers as MLB sets them. What is H? Beside it is each player's season NUT — weighted runs above average from wOBA, divided by runs per win — where 0.0 is league average. Grades use the season scale: S is elite, C is around league average. Rankings by position are on Best by Position, and the full board, sortable by any stat, is on Stats.
