2024 Fantasy Outlook
Joe got his first significant chance in the majors outside of Coors Field and things largely went well, as he maintained a 107 wRC+ and .332 wOBA across 472 plate appearances. His performance wasn't quite as smooth as that number would suggest, as he struggled through the middle part of the campaign after getting off to a hot start. That began to cost him playing time, though the season-ending injury to Andrew McCutchen and departures of both Carlos Santana and Ji-Man Choi gave Joe a reprieve. He took advantage by slashing a respectable .256/.345/.422 across 207 plate appearances in the second half of the season. That gives Joe a credible case to begin the 2024 season a starter in the Pittsburgh lineup, but he's likely to begin the season in a short-side platoon role with Rowdy Tellez at first base while also potentially picking up some plate appearances at DH and the outfield.

Out of lineup Friday
Joe is absent from the starting nine for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
After falling into a short-side platoon role, Joe started in four of the Pirates' six games following the All-Star break. However, he will be idle Friday against right-hander Zac Gallen. With Bryan Reynolds on the bereavement list, Joe could see a minor bump in playing time in the short-term. In 317 plate appearances, Joe is slashing .243/.328/.389 with seven home runs.

Stat Review
How does Connor Joe 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2019
Joe's career path took a bit of a dip last season as he struggled a bit with injuries, but also did not enjoy as much of the Coors Magic he enjoyed in 2021. The first base/outfield eligibility helps in NL-Only formats but the path to playing time is rather gray even after being traded to the Pirates. There is not a path to a starting job for him as long as everyone is healthy or locked down on the roster. There is not even a clear platoon situation which works out well because Joe's defensive limitations marginalize him to corner outfield or first base. The disciplined approach at the plate certainly makes it tough to give up on him, so remind yourself to draft skills not roles and hope something opens up for him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

May be non-tender candidate
Joe might be non-tendered by the Pirates this winter, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
Joe put up a respectable .760 OPS in 133 games this season with the Pirates and was especially productive against lefties, but he has reached arbitration early as a Super 2 qualifier and could command around $2 million in 2024. That may be seen as too high a price tag for the 31-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder. Pittsburgh is well-stocked with corner-outfield talent, and Mackey believes the team will likely seek a free-agent upgrade at first base.
