How to read the HR leaders
The ranking is MLB's official home runs leaderboard for the regular season, with qualifiers as MLB sets them. What is HR? 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.
