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 101.7 comes from · How the whole thing was built
Roch Cholowsky does effectively the same job at shortstop — we rate them 102.0 against this card's 101.7 — and costs 33,998 instead of 75,799. That is 41,801 stubs you could spend somewhere else.
What he actually does
This card is a balanced bat — 100 contact and 94 power. The splits matter here: 107 power against right-handers and 80 against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Real speed at 93, and he will take a base — stealing sits at 24. In the field he grades 99 with a 99 arm — very good for a shortstop.
