2023 Fantasy Outlook
Pederson joined the Giants on a one-year, $6 million deal in March and delivered an .874 OPS, 23 home runs and 70 RBI in 134 contests. The 144 wRC+ and .274 average are the best figures of his big-league career, and he also hit well against left-handed pitching with a .245/.333/.408 slash line, though that covers only 57 plate appearances. Pederson will likely reprise that exact same strong-side platoon role after accepting the Giants' qualifying offer. He also took a major step back defensively, which could result in him seeing more time at designated hitter, especially since the club added Mitch Haniger and Michael Conforto. Read Past Outlooks

Cleared to take swings
Pederson (hand) said he will swing the bat Monday for the first time since landing on the 10-day injured list May 15, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
A painful right hand contusion has kept Pederson out of commission for the past two weeks, but being able to resume swinging represents a major milestone in his recovery process. Depending on how Pederson fares in his workouts over the next few days, he could be cleared to head out on a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend, if the Giants determine that he requires one. While Pederson has been on the shelf, the Giants have been leaning on J.D. Davis and Blake Sabol as their primary options at designated hitter.

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 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.
