5 silver linings from Daniel Johnson’s 5-strikeout game

In just his second game of the season, outfielder Daniel “The Jet” Johnson struck out in each of his five at-bats, earning him a Platnimum Sombrero (also occasionally called “The Olympic Rings”), the lesser-known cousin of the more popular four-strikeout Golden Sombrero.

While this technically wasn’t Johnson’s MLB debut, it was just his second appearance in 2021 and it’s still very early in his career. This promotion was exciting on the surface because as he has plucked away at the alternate site, Cleveland has insisted on putting Josh Naylor in right field, instead of first base, his more natural position.
