Strong, defined lower half in the 6-foot, 170 pound righty. Works with aggression in his delivery and demeanor. Fastball ranged 83-86 from a quick arm and high-3/4 slot. Works level throughout, landing in-line. Breaking ball has tight spin with 11/5 action. Ranging 71-74. Occasionally around the pitch producing more side to side action. Sharp with good hand speed, showed an ability to control the zone and expand. Change-up works with near fastball hand speed at 75-78. Straight action, around the zone, but a distant 3rd pitch right now. Coiled at balance there is a tendency to get rotational. When the extension is present the ball jumps out of the hand.
07.22.16: An athletic 6-foot, 160 pound righty with an average frame that will add strength. Working from a high-3/4 slot with a clean, strong, and quick arm action, Johnson worked 82-85 and touched 87. The fastball command was erratic but filtered into the zone as the pitch count elevated. The curveball ranged 65-68, was inconsistent, and lacked maturity with a gradual 11/5 shape. The delivery is athletic with a slight coil at balance, while working on-line.
