Johnson offers significant upside with his talent at the plate and in the field. Hitting from an open stance and loading with a leg kick and a pull-heavy approach, Johnson has strong hands, excellent bat speed, high-level strength projection and already drives the ball with authority. He typically stays within the strike zone, doesn’t swing and miss much and has a chance to grow into plus raw power. A tick above-average runner, Johnson has a chance to stick at shortstop depending on his physical development, though some scouts think he could outgrow the position and slide to third base as he gets closer to the big leagues. He’s an intelligent player and an athletic defender with quick reactions off the bat and good body coordination. Johnson is adept on both ends of the double play, charges in well on the slow roller and has the arm strength for the left side of the infield.
