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 he actually does
A contact hitter first — elite contact against very good power. The splits matter here: very good power against right-handers and elite against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Solid in the field for a catcher, with a very good arm.
