    Johnson has a playable three-pitch mix and is a durable starter who can work deep into games, but his control might make him a better fit for the bullpen. He has a high-spin fastball in the 90-93 mph range with an 82-84 mph changeup and 80-81 mph slider with spin. He’ll also flash a slower curveball in the 75-78 mph range.
