Johnson is 5-10 with an athletic frame, he hits from the left side from a balanced athletic stance, lunging stride lands slightly closed, smooth short load back, hips have some explosion to them. Very short path to contact with extension through it, level swing with uphill finish. Line drive swing, worked gap to gap in the round but sets up to pull the ball, has some batspeed and power potential, exit velocity was 88. On the infield, rounds ball aggressively with quick clean feet, fields with a good wide base and soft hands. Pushes through the ball to a clean exchange, throws from a higher three-quarters arm slot with a longer, loose arm action that is quick, infield velocity was 85. Ran a 4.12 home to first.
