Alex
Johnson

INF/RHP Alex Johnson (Eau Claire Memorial, 2027) measured at an athletic and wiry strong 6-foot, 159 pounds. We were impressed with the swings Johnson was taking with a balanced and centered move to the hitting position. Johnson hits with a very quiet head, quick hands, a flat path and is always behind the baseball using leverage to drive the ball to all fields. In the infield, Johnson was 81 mph across the infield and his quick first step and soft hands indicate that he is likely to be able to stick on the left side. On the mound, Johnson was up to 84 mph with his downhill fastball from a high 3/4 slot. He complemented the fastball with a slider and fading change up that he displayed the ability to land in the zone. Overall, it was another solid day from Johnson and he continues to be someone our staff is excited about.
