Johnson’s June Surge Sparks Hope

Termarr Johnson’s June explosion is turning heads—after a brutal May in Triple-A, the Pirates’ top draft pick is now crushing the ball with a .260+ average and .500+ slugging, already matching his entire prior season’s home run total. With three bombs and multiple multi-hit games, including a four-hit blast, the second baseman’s resurgence offers hope he can become the cornerstone the Pirates envisioned. But with still-low overall stats and metrics showing he’s not consistently making hard contact, the real test is sustaining this momentum into 2027—before he even gets a call-up to the majors this year.
