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

What he actually does
A balanced solid bat. The splits matter here: elite power against right-handers and average against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Slow, and no help on the bases. Average in the field for a catcher.
