2022 Fantasy Outlook
Pederson is a tough player to roster. He only provides some power from the left side of the plate. The steals are just about gone. He's never had a batting average over .250. Over the last two seasons, he's struggled to even get his on-base rate up to .300, and most importantly, there is the platoon issue. In his career, he has an .832 OPS against right-handers and a catcher-like .610 OPS against lefties. He has not had over 514 plate appearances since 2016. One change last year was that he quit pulling the ball as much (47.1% to 35.3%), but that led to a career-low 13.7 HR/FB%, with Pederson not taking advantage of short right-field porches. Also, after he posted a career-low 8.0 BB% in 2020, it didn't rebound this past season. The decline in power and walks might just be the start of the end. Read Past Outlooks

Sitting Wednesday
Pederson is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pederson will take a seat Wednesday as the Giants take on left-hander Kyle Freeland. The outfielder has gone 2-for-20 with a homer and three RBI in his last six games, so the day off could help him get back into his groove. Darin Ruf will enter the lineup in left field and bat second in the series finale.

Stat Review
How does Joc Pederson compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Pederson's one-dimensional skill set and strict platoon role has long hampered his fantasy value, and a drop in both his home-run output and on-base numbers resulted in the left-handed hitter ending last season on the waiver wire in a majority of standard mixed leagues. Pederson continued to hit the ball hard -- his 93.0 mph average exit velocity ranked in the 96th percentile -- but a 9.2-point jump in his groundball rate (to a career-high 51.7%) resulted in fewer balls leaving the park. Once among baseball's most patient batters, Pederson has taken fewer walks in recent campaigns, culminating in a career-low 8.0 BB% and .285 OBP last season. Pederson could get more regular playing time and face more lefties after signing with the Cubs. His power potential is tantalizing, but he needs to show he's more than a platoon player with a limited skill set.
