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 2003 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 2003 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale.
The 2003 Atlanta Braves went 101-61, the best record of 16 clubs in the NL. Their team NUT of +19.2 ranked #3 of 30 clubs that season and #76 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: +16.8 from the hitters, +2.3 from the pitchers.
