Troy Johnston Continues Offensive Explosion At Triple-A
1 year agoMiami Marlins first base prospect Troy Johnston has continued to produce eye-popping numbers since his promotion to Triple-A on July 25. The first baseman has slashed .397/.453/.707 with three home runs in 14 games since the call-up. This run comes on the heels of a dominant first half of the season with Double-A Pensacola that has piqued fantasy managers' interest in Johnston. In 97 games overall in 2023, the Gonzaga product has a .994 OPS with 21 HRs and 17 steals. Johnston is 26 years old with nearly 1,700 minor league plate appearances, so there is little left to prove before a potential promotion. With the Marlins still in contention, Johnston could make a fantasy impact down the stretch in 2023 and provides plenty of intrigue for next season.
