Rather than trust the number the game prints on the front, it reads the card's actual ratings — power, contact, fielding and the rest — and weighs them the way the game appears to. It runs past 100 because those underlying ratings do.

What he actually does
A contact hitter first — very good contact against average power. The splits matter here: poor power against right-handers and average against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Real speed, and he will take a base. Solid in the field for a shortstop.
