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 1914 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 1914 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale.
The 1914 Boston Braves went 94-59, the best record of 8 clubs in the NL. Their team NUT of -5.3 ranked #20 of 24 clubs that season and #2,517 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: -3.5 from the hitters, -1.8 from the pitchers.
