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.

What he actually does
A very good velocity, with very good control behind it. He misses bats at an elite rate, and he will not beat himself with walks. Enough stamina to start and go deep.
