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.

What he actually does
A very good velocity, with very good break on the ball behind it. He misses bats at a very good rate, and his command is about average. Enough stamina to start and go deep.
