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 97.6 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 is a contact hitter first — 109 contact against 95 power. The splits matter here: 107 power against right-handers and 83 against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Speed is not part of his game at 30, and he will not steal. In the field he grades 95 with a 40 arm — very good for a first baseman.
