Troy Johnston

28-Year-Old First Baseman1B
Miami Marlins
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Johnston has been toiling in the Marlins organization since 2019. He spent last season with Triple-A Jacksonville, posting a 99 wRC+. His main asset is an above average contact rate, but he doesn't hit the ball hard. Johnston will turn 28 years old in June, and at 5-11, 205 pounds, more power is possible but not likely. He's exhibited the power/speed combination envied by fantasy managers, but it's unclear how his quantity and quality of contact will translate to the highest level, especially as a first baseman. The Marlins lack a proven commodity at the position, so a hot spring could propel Johnston into the mix. At best Johnston is worth tracking in the spring. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Marlins in July of 2025.
On bench against southpaw

August 10, 2025
Johnston is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis
The 28-year-old rookie was on the bench for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader while Atlanta sent righty Erick Fedde to the hill, and Johnston will remain there with southpaw Joey Wentz on the mound for the series finale. Since getting the call to the big leagues July 29, Johnston has gone just 4-for-21 with no walks and six strikeouts. He's in danger of losing playing time if he's unable to get going at the plate soon.
