Johnson is a 6-foot-6, 215-pound righthander turned in a terrific 2023 season in his first year as a full-time starter for Dallas Baptist. He upped his strikeout rate from 18.5% to 31.4% and posted a 4.43 ERA over 87.1 innings and 15 starts. At the same time he cut his walk rate from 8.7% to 5.9%. Johnson averaged 93-94 mph with his fastball and has been up to 100, but relies heavily on a slider despite that velocity. He threw his low-80s slider 52% of the time in 2023 and still managed a nearly 40% miss rate with it. The pitch has lots of horizontal movement and looks like an out pitch at the next level, though he still needs to refine a third offering to profile as a starter.
