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 accepted the $19 million qualifying offer to remain in San Francisco for 2023, and he delivered an underwhelming performance with 15 homers and a .245/.348/.416 slash line, which was good for a 111 wRC+. He saw most of his playing time at designated hitter but retained outfield eligibility with 37 appearances, and he's unlikely to play the field much more than that going forward with minus-20 DRS across the last two years. Pederson improved his walk rate to 13.7 percent but posted a career-low .181 ISO despite a career-best 52.2 percent hard-hit rate, which resulted in a .263 xBA and .483 xSLG. A rebound in 2024 could be in store given those expected figures, especially if his new team has a more favorable home than pitcher-friendly Oracle Park. A .606 OPS in 52 plate appearances against lefties likely means the lefty-hitting Pederson is destined for a platoon role once again, regardless of where he signs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Texas, Tampa possible fits
The Rangers and Rays make sense as potential landing spots for Pederson, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Diamondbacks also have interest in re-signing Pederson, who posted a career-high .908 OPS with 23 home runs for them in 2024. While Tampa Bay could use Pederson for the middle of its lineup versus righties, Rosenthal expresses doubt that any free agent with real options would pick the Rays given their ballpark situation. The Rangers ranked third against righties in team OPS in 2023 before falling to 26th in 2024, so Pederson is a logical fit there.
