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 1982 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 1982 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale.
The 1982 St. Louis Cardinals went 92-70, the best record of 12 clubs in the NL. Their team NUT of +5.5 ranked #11 of 26 clubs that season and #1,132 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: +2.4 from the hitters, +3.2 from the pitchers.
