Johan Rojas — OF — Birthdate: 8/14/00 — signed as an international free agent — 1/18/18 — San Francisco de Macoris,
Dominican Republic.
This Fan’s View
Very solid season for the very talented Rojas … 18 doubles, 4 triples, 11 home runs, 52 RBIs and 34 stolen bases in 96 games (FCL, Clearwater & Jersey Shore) — 381 AB’s. He also came to Fall Instructs for a couple weeks where we saw him finish the
season. Has all the tools to advance to the majors and excel when he gets there.
2022 Projection
Has a chance to begin the year with Reading, fall back plan being Jersey Shore with an in-season promotion in mind.
