2026 Fantasy Outlook
After toiling in the minors since 2019, Johnston made his major league debut when the Marlins called him up in late July. He played in 44 games over the final two months of the season, posting a 109 wRC+ while splitting time between first base and the corner outfield spots. Despite a high chase rate, Johnston's strikeout rate was slightly better than league average. Waived by Miami in early November, Johnston was quickly claimed by Colorado, where his above-average fly ball profile is a better fit than South Beach. With an opening at first base, he should have a legitimate opportunity to compete for the job, and any player receiving regular at-bats in Coors Field carries inherent fantasy upside.

Signed a one-year contract with the Rockies in March of 2026.
Back on bench Sunday
Johnston is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Johnston will sit for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. Johnston appeared to have settled into a near-everyday role after posting an impressive .954 OPS through his first 11 games of the campaign, but his grip on a regular spot in the lineup may be loosening after 0-for-4 efforts in his last two starts.

How does Troy Johnston compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

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.
