2024 Rocky Johnson was dominant on the offensive side of the ball in both games of their doubleheader Wednesday afternoon. Rocky’s assertive lower-half and contact approach helped him rack up 2 XBH’s, one being a 2-RBI triple to CF, along with two hard-hit singles on both sides of the field. He was a big part of a commanding Canadian offence with an EV of up to 92.3 mph. Rocky’s no-fear approach at the plate made him one of the more intriguing bats this week.
