Last scored matchup
Jose isn't on today's slate. He was last scored 4 days ago, at home against Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, where he landed on doubles (60.8/100), singles (46.8/100), hits (34.4/100). This page refreshes with new projections as soon as he's back in a lineup.
Recent form
Jose is 8-for-31 (.258) over his last 10 games, in line with his .258 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.
He's a right-handed bat
Jose 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
Jose has recorded at least one hit in 33 of 57 games he's batted in — 58% — with 12 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
Jose is hitting .268 at home (22-for-82) and .250 on the road (26-for-104) 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.
His best game in the log
Jose's biggest night was Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at BOS — 2-for-4 with 1 driven in. 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 Jose have graded
In the 5 games where we ranked Jose a top-20 hitter matchup, he recorded a hit 4 times — 80%. 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
Jose was scored on 12 boards in that matchup, and the spread is the interesting part: doubles graded 60.8/100 while triples came in at 1.6/100. 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
Jose gets scored the same way a backup infielder does — same inputs, same scale, no thumb on it. What he's done against arms of this handedness, what this particular pitcher and bullpen give up, his likely plate appearances, the ballpark, the conditions, his recent form. The weighting behind those is ours and gets re-tuned weekly against what actually happened. The output is public and graded, which is the only claim worth making.
What we'd flag
Read this page knowing what it can't do. It can't show you a line no book posted — coverage peaks around 87% for confirmed starters. It can't see a lineup change that happens after the projection publishes. And it can't tell you anything useful from one game, because the model is only measurable across a season-sized sample.
