INF/RHP Tate Johnson (Luck High, 2028) is an interesting prospect and our staff came away excited about how this freshman will develop. A solid framed athlete who measured at 6-foot-1, 168 pounds with present strength to his frame and more projected to come. He drove the ball consistently with a controlled crash to the hitting zone and consistently backspun balls through the big part of the field. His 91 mph exit velocity was top 10 for the event despite being one of the two 2028 grads in attendance. His actions at shortstop during defense were more than adequate to indicate he will be able to stick on the dirt moving forward. On the mound, we were intrigued by the future for Johnson as he showcased an athletic and dynamic delivery through the baseball. His fastball topped out in the upper 70s and was driven downhill through the zone creating some deception to his delivery. He also showed a top to bottom curveball with feel to land in the zone and a useful change up. Overall, Johnson impressed and our staff will certainly monitor his progress going into the spring and summer seasons.
