How this ranking is built

The game stops its overall rating at 99, so its best shortstops all print the same number and the list stops being a list. Pulse Rating re-rates each card from its own attributes using the game's own recipe, left uncapped — which is why the top of this page reads 111.0, 109.9, 109.9 instead of 99, 99, 99. “Buy this one” is the cheapest card still within 2.0 points of the best one you can buy, not a hand-picked favourite. Every weight is published on How Pulse Rating Works.
