Troy Johnston Reflects on First Full Season with Colorado Rockies

Colorado Rockies infielder Troy Johnston is enjoying a dream first full major league season at age 29, batting .280/.350/.395 with 29 doubles and 48 RBI across 121 games. Claimed off waivers from Miami, Johnston credits his success to manager Warren Schaeffer, hitting coach Brett Pill—focusing on golf swing mechanics—and a healthier mental approach. Set to become a free agent at season's end, the veteran rookie has also enjoyed pitching in relief appearances.
