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 the market is doingthe asking price, and what it is really selling for
The cheapest listing is 224,999 and the last 36 sales averaged 234,962 — the asking price is roughly where the card is actually trading. 36 sales in 6 hours.
What he actually does
A contact hitter first — elite contact against solid power. The splits matter here: solid power against right-handers and very good against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Very good in the field for a shortstop.
