The 2nd best shortstop in MLB The Show 26, out of 181 that we rate.
the worst shortstop in the gamethe best
It is our own score for how good a card is. 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.
Where this card's 104.7 comes from · How the whole thing was built
This card is locked to a pack or a program, so it never appears on the marketplace at any price. The only way to get it is to earn it. If you already have it, holding it costs you nothing — you could not sell it if you wanted to.
What he actually does
This card is a balanced bat — 105 contact and 105 power. The splits matter here: 115 power against right-handers and 95 against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Real speed at 90, and he will take a base — stealing sits at 91. In the field he grades 60 with a 73 arm — average for a shortstop.
