Connor Joe (1B/OF, COL) - Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams

ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Joe has been called up, optioned, and recalled on three separate occasions this season through no fault of his own. He's been a productive player in his limited at-bats this year but has often been the odd man out when the Rockies had to clear a roster spot. He was called up for the final time on July 20 and appears to be here to stay as he's slashing .340/.368/.679 with five home runs and 16 RBI since then. Most recently, he's got a .348/.385/.739 batting line with three homers and eight RBI over the last seven contests (23 at-bats). Overall, the 28-year-old journeyman is rocking a solid .291/.363/.473 triple-slash line with five long balls, 22 runs batted in, and 10 runs scored over 110 at-bats. He's been remarkably consistent at the plate despite receiving sporadic at-bats throughout the year.

Joe has a .284 xBA, .354 xwOBA, and .458 xSLG to go along with a 10.7% Barrel Rate and an impressive 113.5 mph Max Exit Velocity. The Rockies host the Padres for three games next week before the D-Backs come to town. They're slated to face three right-handed pitchers and three lefties. Joe has had more success against right-handers (.311/.378/.500 over 74 AB's) but has a solid .740 OPS in 33 at-bats against southpaws this year as well. He's already homered off Ryan Weathers once this season and Blake Snell has been remarkably inconsistent this year. Yu Darvish, Zac Gallen, and Merrill Kelly have all looked particularly vulnerable over their last few starts, too, so this should be a profitable week for Joe. Teammate Raimel Tapia hit the injured list at the beginning of this week and Joe has been batting leadoff in his stead. He should see plenty of volume and production in Tapia's place.
