Brady Johnson (St. Thomas More, 2024) showed well in Waukesha, listed at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds with a strong frame. From the right-handed box, Johnson showed a short and quick swing that produced a max exit velocity of 90.6 mph, at an average EV of 86.1, and he used the entire field well. Behind the plate, Johnson has quick feet and a smooth transfer. His quickness and arm strength pair well, which allowed him to reach a 79 mph high on his throws to second, producing a low pop time of 2.01, and both measurements led the showcase. 

12/02/22

Johnson is a projectable backstop, listed at 6-foot-1, 180-pounds, who jumps inside our rankings with this expansion. Offensively, Johnson creates some lift within his swing, and has created max EVs in the high-80s but it wouldn’t be surprising to see these numbers rise after a full off-season of training. Defensively is where Johnson really shines as he is an above-average receiver and is quick to get the ball out of his glove on his throws down to second.

6/02/20

6-foot, 180 pounds; big frame, advanced strength. Right-handed hitter who squared up some of the hardest contact of the tournament. On Sunday, consistently barreled up the baseball without swinging and missing. Recorded four hits on Sunday, each of which were barreled with premium bat strength: two singles to center field and two extra-base hits driven through the left-center gap. Hits from a tall setup, rhythmic pre-pitch helps him sync up and time the barrel well, short path, fast bat speed, high two-hand finish. Got behind the plate in game two on Sunday at Milkmen Field, flexible and dependable in the crouch, protecting balls in the dirt from big backstop. Sturdy receiver with above-average quickness out of the chute, especially for his size. Popped an off-target 2.25 in-game and nearly threw out a baserunner with a 2.57, athletically receiving a pitch to his left, well out of the strike zone, efficiently gathering and releasing to the bag with arm strength.
