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
The cheapest listing is 5,654 and the last 200 sales averaged 5,492 — the asking price is roughly where the card is actually trading. 200 sales in 21 hours.
What he actually does
An elite power bat, with very good contact behind it. 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 first baseman.
