Termarr Johnson had a multi-hit game on Friday in the Arizona Fall League.
The top 100 infield prospect has played in five games so far in the young AFL season, batting .318 with a 1.091 OPS. He’s only struck out three times, while walking eight times.
On Friday, Johnson had two singles. The first came in the fifth inning, with Johnson reaching on an infield single. The second hit came in the seventh inning as an early part of a five-run frame that saw Johnson score.
Johnson is the number five prospect in the system, and the top prospect the Pirates have sent to the AFL. He’s coming off a season where he hit for a .757 OPS in Greensboro, before moving up to Altoona at the end of the year with a .712 OPS.
ARIZONA FALL LEAGUE
SCOTTSDALE lost 7-6
- 2B Termarr Johnson: 2-for-5
- RHP Brandan Bidois: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Brandan Bidois was the other Pirates prospect in action, throwing 1.2 scoreless innings in relief. Bidois struggled in his first outing of the AFL season, allowing six runs in less than an inning. He has since thrown 2.2 scoreless frames. The right-hander spent most of the 2024 season in High-A Greensboro, where he had a 4.85 ERA in 29.2 innings, along with a 43:17 K/BB. Bidois has better stuff than his numbers have indicated, but has struggled with control and command issues that have led to inconsistencies.
