06.06.17 - 5-foot-7, 145-pound, fast-twitch, athletic frame. Johnson was all over the field on Tuesday, making plays in the outfield, crashing the infield to back up bases, running a 6.75-second 60-yard dash, and throwing 80-83 mph on the mound from the left side. A right-handed hitter, Johnson starts from an athletic set up with his knees pinched together, slightly closed stance, and rhythm. Simple load to start with a short stride, good bat speed and extension through contact. Later in the day, Johnson, a left-handed pitcher, got on the mound and was 80-83 mph with his fastball with late arm side action. He works from a ¾ slot with a loose, quick arm stroke and has good feel for the strike zone with two pitches. His breaking ball was 66-67 mph with 1-7 shape and gradual depth. He also throws a 73 mph changeup.
