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.

What he actually does
An average power bat, with poor contact behind it. The splits matter here: poor power against right-handers and average against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Average in the field for a right fielder.
