Last scored matchup
Joey isn't on today's slate. He was last scored yesterday, away at San Diego Padres on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, where he landed on singles (44.2/100), runs (39/100), rbis (35.9/100). This page refreshes with new projections as soon as he's back in a lineup.
Recent form
Joey is 7-for-32 (.219) over his last 10 games, in line with his .262 season line. No hot streak to fade, no slump to buy — the matchup is doing the work in his score, which is the normal case. The full game log is below.
What kind of hitter he is
Joey has 9 home runs and 27 extra-base hits in 366 at-bats this season. That profile is why he grades better on the total-bases and home-run boards than his batting average alone would suggest — those boards reward damage, not just contact. Park and weather matter more for a hitter like him too, and both feed the score.
He's a right-handed bat
Joey hits from the right side, so the platoon math runs the other way from a lefty's. Right-handed bats face right-handed pitching most of the time, meaning his baseline is built against the harder side and a left-handed starter is the upgrade. That's why a righty's score can jump on a day nothing else about the matchup changed. The model weighs his rates against the specific handedness he's drawing rather than a blended season number, which is where a lot of the day-to-day movement in his score comes from.
Floor and ceiling
Joey has recorded at least one hit in 68 of 115 games he's batted in — 59% — with 22 multi-hit games among them. That's a boom-or-bust profile. He'll carry a game outright and then go quiet for three, so his hits-board score tends to sit below hitters with worse power and better contact.
Home and away
Joey is hitting .292 at home (52-for-178) and .234 on the road (44-for-188) across the season. There's not much in it, which is the normal case. Home-road splits get talked about far more than they hold up.
Against San Diego Padres
Joey is 1-for-10 (.100) against San Diego Padres in our log, over 3 games. Worth knowing, worth not over-reading. 10 at-bats against one club is a tiny sample, and the model treats it as a minor input next to what that pitching staff actually allows to his handedness. Batter-versus-pitcher history is the most quoted number in baseball and one of the least predictive.
His best game in the log
Joey's biggest night was Friday, September 25, 2026 against STL — 2-for-3. That's the ceiling, not the expectation. The projection you'll see on a board is closer to his typical game than his best one, which is the whole point of projecting rather than remembering.
How our calls on Joey have graded
In the 5 games where we ranked Joey a top-20 hitter matchup, he recorded a hit 1 times — 20%. That's a thin sample and we'd treat it as such. Every one of those calls was graded against the real box score, misses included.
Where he lands across our boards
Joey was scored on 12 boards in that matchup, and the spread is the interesting part: singles graded 44.2/100 while hits came in at 6.7/100. Same player, same game, same opposing arm — different questions. A spread that wide usually means the matchup favours one kind of outcome over another, and it's the clearest argument for reading the board that matches what you actually care about.
How the model reads him
Take the name off Joey and the model still produces the same number, because it's scoring the matchup rather than the player. His splits against this handedness, what the opposing starter and bullpen actually allow, how many plate appearances he's likely to get, the park, the weather, how he's swinging lately. All of it lands on a 0–100 scale against everyone else playing today. We don't publish how it's weighted. We publish every result it produces.
What we'd flag
Three caveats worth carrying. Not every player gets a posted line — book coverage runs to about 87% for confirmed starters, so a blank line is the market's silence, not ours. Lineup changes land late enough to strand a projection published hours earlier. And judging any of this on a single night is meaningless; the model is tuned on hundreds of settled outcomes.
