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 balanced very good bat. The splits matter here: elite power against right-handers and very good 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, with a very good arm.
