Joe topped 400 plate appearances for the third consecutive season in 2024, playing at a combination of first base and right field. His effectiveness at the plate dipped, however, as his wRC+ and wOBA dipped to 92 and .305, respectively. Joe retained his ability to make consistent contact, as he struck out at only a 21.9 percent clip. The problem was Joe's inability to make that contact impactful, evidenced by his 4.7 percent barrel rate and 32 percent hard-hit rate. After being non-tendered by the Pirates early in the offseason, Joe will look for a new opportunity around the league and could reasonably slot into a short-side platoon role, though his fantasy appeal is limited.
