View Draft Report
Johnson is a 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior righthander who has started at least 10 games for four straight seasons at UMBC. This spring he posted a 4.82 ERA over 80.1 innings and 14 starts with a 23.3% strikeout rate and 6.3% walk rate. After the season he also pitched well in a brief, two-start stint in the MLB Draft League. Johnson has a light fastball that sits in the upper 80s and will touch 91-92, but the pitch does have above-average riding life. He pairs it with a slow changeup in the mid 70s and spins an occasional slider in the low-80s.
