Rankings

A card’s in-game Overall is a flat average, and flat averages get less useful the higher you climb. OpScore re-weights the attributes that actually win games — plate vision and discipline, the right kind of power, the pitches that miss bats — and recomputes the score for each difficulty. The OpScore for All-Star is not the OpScore for Legend, because the inputs that decide an at-bat change as the CPU gets harder.

So these rankings answer the real question: which card plays best at the level you grind? Pick your position and difficulty, then read down the OpScore order — the card on top is the best performer, which is frequently a cheaper card than the headline name.

The edge lives in the gap between OpScore and price. The market pays for big names and a high Overall; OpScore pays for what wins games. Every time those disagree — an 88 that out-performs a 92 on Legend, priced like an 88 — there’s value the market hasn’t caught up to yet.
