Liam Johnstone
Shortstop | Fort Mac Roughnecks
Hitting He thrives late in games. One of the nice things about Liam is that he's a real clutch hitter. If it's late in the game, and there are men on base, you want this guy at the plate. Johnstone never has been a patient hitter. Johnstone always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense Johnstone plays a near-flawless shortstop, making very few errors. His arm is a weapon that ranks in the top five in the league. Johnstone doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often.
2025 Outlook AA isn't the right place for Johnstone. Expect the Fort Mac Roughnecks to send him down for some minor retooling.
