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.

What he actually does
A very good control, with very good velocity behind it. He misses bats at an elite rate, and he will not beat himself with walks. An inning or two at most — this is a bullpen card.
