Sherman Johnson is giving NC State pop, patience, and clutch-contact swagger at third
In the 2026 season, Sherman Johnson emerged as a middle-of-the-order spark for NC State, hitting .330 with 9 home runs, 48 RBI, 42 runs scored, and a .432 on-base percentage across 54 games. He also closed hot, posting a 15-game hitting streak and reaching base in 24 straight games, which says plenty about his feel for the strike zone and competitive edge. Johnson’s appeal is the blend: real power, gap-to-gap damage, and the kind of steady, high-intensity at-bats that play in postseason baseball.
