White Sox second baseman Micah Johnson heating up at Triple-A
White Sox second baseman Micah Johnson was demoted to Triple-A in May, leaving many fans scratching their heads.
Sure, Johnson had endured a rough stretch, which is expected for most rookies in their first big league stint.
But Johnson is staying positive, and has been playing like a star since he was shipped back to Triple-A Charlotte.
In the month of June, Johnson hit .295/.339/.393 with two home runs, 14 RBI and 14 runs scored. He also was 12-14 in steal attempts in those 28 games.
Johnson is hitting .285/.343/.386 with three homers, 18 RBI, and 21 runs scored in 40 games with the Knights this season. He also is 15-18 in stolen base attempts and his .976 fielding percentage is up from what he was doing with the big league club (.969).
If Johnson keeps it up, you can expect to see him back with the big league club in the near future.
