97to buy it50sells back for47the difference25the game always paysIt 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.

What he actually does
A very good velocity, with average break on the ball behind it. He misses bats at an average rate, and the free passes are a real risk. An inning or two at most — this is a bullpen card.
