Physical ‘22 catcher that moves well behind the plate and shows solid catch and throw skills. Appears very comfortable behind the plate and the arm strength is nice. The throws stay on line to the bag and he showed nice accuracy with a pop time as low as 2.00. Did a nice job receiving pitches as well. At the plate, started with an open stance with the feet and the hands set high. Showed some juice to the pull side from a tilted swing plane and there is some present strength in the hands. An interesting ‘22 to keep an eye on.
Our first time seeing Johnson after hearing about him through various sources. Good looking physical backstop that has some definite strength in the hands at the plate. Open stance with the feet and he shows a nice slow load of the hands. The swing plane has some tilt in it and he showed a mostly gap to gap approach during BP with plenty of juice to both gaps. There is some violence in the swing from a very simple approach. Nice catch and throw guy behind the plate as well. Very quick transfer and throws were on the bag as low as 2.01. Blocking skills are plus. One of several young impressive catchers at the event.
