    One of the few high school power bats in the draft after Texan Jason Stokes, Johnson has moved to the doorstep of the first round. None of his other tools is above-average, but he is athletic and has the skills to remain at third base. He has committed to Washington but is considered very signable. With a 54 (on a 20-80 scale), he is the Major League Scouting Bureau's highest-ranking Washington player.
