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 1890 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 1890 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale. Seasons before 1901 ran 60 to 140 games, so values sit lower.
The 1890 Pittsburgh Pirates went 23-113, the worst record of 8 clubs in the NL. Their team NUT of -12.4 ranked #25 of 25 clubs that season and #2,965 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: -7.1 from the hitters, -5.2 from the pitchers.
