Is Johnny Field actually good?

After a long slog through the minors, and a near miss in spring training, Johnny Field finally got his promotion to big club on April 12. Injuries to Kevin Kiermaier and Carlos Gomez have made the Rays lean on the rookie more than they intended, and it’s fair to say that he’s responded well, putting up a .308/.354/.554 triple slash line in 23 games (70 plate appearances). He’s even hit for power, not normally his calling card; his four homers are tied for fifth on the club.

So yes, Johnny has played well in his brief time.
