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 1962 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 1962 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale.
The 1962 New York Mets went 40-120, the worst record of 10 clubs in the NL. Their team NUT of -9.7 ranked #20 of 20 clubs that season and #2,868 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: +1.3 from the hitters, -11.0 from the pitchers.
