C Jake Johnson (Burlington Central, 2025) stands in at a physical 6-foot-4, 205-pounds with power upside at the plate. Johnson controls his levers well, staying short/uphill to contact from the right side with barrel feel (78%) and more juice to come. Johnson’s arm strength behind the plate is noteworthy, as he peaked at 78 mph from the chute, while popping in the 1.95-to-2.07 range in his workout.
Positional Profile: C/3B
Body: 6-3, 195-pounds. Wiry, athletic build with plenty of room for continued physical development.
Hits: RHH. Balanced lower half, wide base, active hands pre-pitch, short stride. Flat path, stays on top of the baseball, feel for the barrel and uses the whole field.
Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 73.6 MPH. 279' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-76 mph. Short clean arm stroke, 3/4 slot.
Defense: 2.07-2.15 pop times. Athletic feet, defends low to the ground, two-hand gather out front of body.
Run: 7.79 runner in the 60.
Vizual Edge: 81.19 Edge Score
Positional Profile: C
Body: 6-3, 190-pounds. Strong, physical frame.
Hits: RHH. Balanced, wide setup, knee-knocks into a long stride, fluid load. Dives, uses the ground to generate energy, loose, slightly uphill, feel for the barrel, easy bat speed.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 81.6 MPH. 295' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-72 mph. Over the top release, long arm action, quick exchange, some carry on throws, accurate around the bag.
Defense: 2.12-2.16 pop times. Quick/clean catch and throw, feet work in-line.
Run: 8.11 runner in the 60.
Vizual Edge: 78.95 Edge Score
Uncommitted. Strong, well-proportioned frame with a developed lower-half and mature look. Started behind the plate and impressed with his defense and strong right-handed bat. The backstop showed to have receptive hands, working under the ball and pulling pitches back to the plate with subtle movements. He proved to be an active/athletic blocker throughout the course of the day, dropping quickly and moving well side-to-side, deadening the ball out front; also controlling the run-game with back-picks and a strong arm from the chute. The right-handed hitter has a confident presence in the box, displaying strong hands that work to lift the baseball with easy pop, intent to do damage while maintaining body-control; also showing to see the ball well out of the hand and working deep into counts.
