Future Games (Hitting Recap) - While Johnson excelled on the bump, he also showed plenty of promise at the plate and has the chance to develop into an impact bat. Uses his height in the box, staying tall and upright throughout with a lofted swing plane and high finish. The set-up is narrow and slightly open to begin before he gets some bend in his lower half and a slight hinge at the waist. Barrel works thru the zone easily with low effort bat speed. Strong lower half keeps him balanced and allows him to use his size for leverage/power. Has some feel for recognizing spin and was able to drive a breaking ball to his backside gap in game early on for his first hit of the event. Overall, the size, strength and barrel control make Johnson an intriguing follow as an offensive prospect.

Future Games (Pitching Recap) -
FB: 83-88. Heavy ball out of hand that consistently finds the bottom of the zone. Flashes more run when working to his arm-side CB: 70-72. Tight shape with hard break when thrown at its best. 11/5 bend into the zone.
Johnson continues to have a productive summer and has cemented himself as one of the top names to know in the state for the 2023 class. We’ve seen the FB up to 87-88 now on multiple looks and comfortably maintains 83-86 throughout. His short, tight arm action helps him stay on time with his delivery and makes him a consistent strike thrower. Also flashes current feel for his CB.
