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 100.5 comes from · How the whole thing was built
This card is locked to a pack or a program, so it never appears on the marketplace at any price. The only way to get it is to earn it. If you already have it, holding it costs you nothing — you could not sell it if you wanted to.
What he actually does
This card has a very good velocity at 99, and very good break on the ball at 99. Hitters strike out against him at 92 and he avoids walks at 70 — about average for command. Stamina of 100 means he can start and go deep.
