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 165 and the last 200 sales averaged 172 — the asking price is roughly where the card is actually trading. 200 sales in 24 hours.
What he actually does
A solid velocity, with solid break on the ball behind it. He misses bats at a poor rate, and his command is about average. Enough stamina to start and go deep.
