Johnston is a hold — league-average bat, BABIP still unsettled

His expected wOBA is .326, about .011 above league average, and 417 plate appearances is past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA of .334 sits right next to it, so nothing on the stat line is running away from the skill underneath. The one loose thread is his BABIP: .339, well above the .295 league average, but that needs around 800 balls in play to mean anything and he has 300. Expect some of the batting average to regress while the walk and strikeout rates hold near league. His expected wOBA has been stepping up across the sample, which keeps the floor real, and his strikeout rate of 17.7% is better than league — but his barrel rate of 2.3% against an 8.0% league average caps the ceiling. Nothing here is unstable enough to act on in either direction. Hold. Just 0 HR and 1 SB the rest of the way — a deep-league counting drag, so hold what you have and stream elsewhere.
