Notes

Comments

10/01/24

6-foot, 190-pound frame, athletic build with broad shoulders. Looks to be a top returner for the Lakers. At the plate, the right-handed hitter works with a strong, compact operation while looking to control the barrel, topping out at 96.5 mph for his EV with an average of 92.2 mph. Above-average athlete, cruising to a 6.84 in the 60. Athletic defender on the infield, moves well to both sides of his glove, sure-handed actions with a clean transfer, plays through the ball with fluid footwork. Strong arm with a clean ¾ release, can play from multiple angles and on the move, T91 mph.

5/26/23

Lake Land commit. Johnson went 1-0 on the mound last week, moving his record to 8-1 overall. In their 9-3 win over Andrean, Johnson threw six innings, struck out five, walked three, allowed two runs and two hits. At the plate, he went 6-for-18 (.333) with a double and two RBIs.

4/15/23

Lake Land JC commit. Right-handed hitting two-way prospect, started at second base and hit in the five-hole. Has been one of the top offensive producers in the Lemont lineup all spring long. Strong, athletic, 6-foot, 190-pound frame, creates bat strength in the box while staying short and direct to the baseball. Creates backspin lift at times and is consistently on time and on the barrel. Finished 3-for-3 with two doubles, RBI and a run scored. Both doubles were deep drives to the biggest part of the park in center field. Also chopped a single back up the middle. Defensively, steady infield actions, with sure hands and feel for the middle. 

 
4/14/23

Lake Land commit. On the week, Johnson hit 9-for-16 (.523) with a home run, double, and four RBIs. He also threw 7.2 innings on the mound, earning a win, striking out 10, walking four, allowing two earned runs and seven hits. In their game against Archbishop McCarthy (FL), he threw four innings, struck out six, walked one, allowed one earned run and four hits.
