I am not exaggerating: first baseman Troy Johnston (Double-A Pensacola) is the hottest hitter in baseball, period. At least in U.S. affiliated professional baseball. Over the last two weeks, nobody in the majors or minors has as many hits as Johnston (27), according to Baseball-Reference. Johnston played all of those games at Blue Wahoos Stadium, which isn’t a hitter-friendly environment by any means, and mashed four balls over the wall.
I want you to watch each of these recent home runs. Anything jump out to you?
