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.

Johnston went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Analysis
Johnston had gone 29 games without a steal entering this contest. He's gone even longer (39 games) without a home run, but he's hit consistently enough to stay in the Rockies' lineup, primarily as a strong-side platoon option in the corner-outfield spots. On the year, he's hitting .323 with an .827 OPS, two homers, two steals, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and 13 doubles across 48 contests.

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.
