the worst starting pitcher in the gamethe best
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.
Where this card's 101.0 comes from · How the whole thing was built
Chris Sale does effectively the same job at starting pitcher — we rate them 99.5 against this card's 101.0 — and costs 13,850 instead of 52,000. That is 38,150 stubs you could spend somewhere else.
What he actually does
This card has a very good break on the ball at 99, and very good velocity at 96. Hitters strike out against him at 91 and he avoids walks at 89 — about average for command. Stamina of 100 means he can start and go deep.
