750the game always paysNobody currently has both a buy order and a listing on this card, so there is no honest price to quote.
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.

What the market is doingthe asking price, and what it is really selling for
The cheapest listing is 173, while the last 200 sales averaged 134 (in 6 hours). Paying the asking price here means paying above what the card has been changing hands for. 200 sales in 6 hours.
What he actually does
A very good break on the ball, with solid velocity behind it. He misses bats at an average rate, and the free passes are a real risk. Stamina puts him between a starter and a long reliever.
