Johnson is a long-limbed 6-foot-2, 155 pound left-handed pitching prospect. He works solely out of the stretch and uses simple movements to get down the mound. He gets balanced and his direction is consistent. The arm is quick and works out of a higher, over-the-top slot creating sink on a fastball that ranges 78-80 mph. The breaking ball is a tight, good looking slider at 70-71 mph. He also showed the feel for a change-up at 69-71 mph.
The arm talent is definitely there for Johnson. He showed a quick arm, heavy sink on a low 80’s fastball and a tight slider. The frame is projectable and with added strength, he could make big jumps in velocity.
