Connor Joe had a few personal goals coming into the 2021 baseball season: he said he wanted to stay healthy, be a good teammate and find a way to make it back to the big leagues. He now wants to prove that he can stay in the big leagues.
Joe was signed to a minor league contract this past offseason and was called up on May 7, 2021. It was his first time on a big league roster since early 2019, having spent 2020 battling testicular cancer. Now Joe has really shown the value he adds to the Rockies roster, and while he said he has to wait until the end of the season to evaluate whether he accomplished his goals, fans surely think he has made an impact.
