Prospect Seth Johnson settling in with Phillies organization after deadline trade, ‘weird’ start to career

Johnson experiencing increase in both volume and quality of at-bats since trade to Phillies

The Phillies acquired Seth Johnson from the Rays in a deadline deal. Sent to Double-A Reading, Johnson quickly showed why the Phillies were so high on him. He is now hitting .350 with a .450 on-base percentage and .570 slugging percentage in 10 games with Reading. "It's been a little bit of a weird start to my career," Johnson said. "I was drafted as a shortstop, but I've been playing third base and outfield this year. I'm just trying to be versatile and do whatever I can to help the team." Johnson struggled at the plate early in the season. He only hit .240 with no home runs and 25 strikeouts in 38 games for the Rays' High-A affiliate. Since the trade to the Phillies, Johnson has seen an increase in both the volume and quality of his at-bats. "He's getting a lot more pitches to hit here," Reading manager Greg Legg said. "He's not getting as many fastballs, and he's seeing more breaking balls and changeups. He's learning to adjust to that and he's starting to hit the ball hard." Johnson credits his success to the Phillies' hitting coaches. He said they have helped him improve his swing and approach at the plate. "They've helped me a lot," Johnson said. "They've helped me simplify my swing and they've taught me how to stay in the zone and hit the ball hard." Johnson is still trying to find his way in professional baseball. He has only been playing for two years, but he has shown a lot of potential. The Phillies are excited to have him in their organization, and they believe he has a bright future.
