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 2002 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 2002 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale.
The 2002 New York Yankees went 103-58, the best record of 14 clubs in the AL. Their team NUT of +27.0 ranked #1 of 30 clubs that season and #8 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: +14.4 from the hitters, +12.6 from the pitchers.
