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 elite power bat, with very good contact behind it. The splits matter here: elite power against right-handers and very good against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Average in the field for a right fielder, with a solid arm.
