Season NUT is one number for production against that season's league average: 0.0 is average, and defense is left out. The roster lists every player who reached the 1889 qualifying bar (100 plate appearances or 25 innings). Team NUT adds those players up. A player traded during the season appears once, with his full-season line, under the club MLB lists him with. Each season is measured against its own league, so a 1889 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale. Seasons before 1901 ran 60 to 140 games, so values sit lower.
