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 the market is doingthe asking price, and what it is really selling for
The cheapest listing is 5,000 and the last 200 sales averaged 4,881 — the asking price is roughly where the card is actually trading. 200 sales, over 2 days.
What he actually does
A very good velocity, with very good break on the ball behind it. He misses bats at an elite rate, and his command is about average. An inning or two at most — this is a bullpen card.
