Johnson (4-2) picked up the win Wednesday over the Brewers, allowing one hit and one walk over 1.1 scoreless innings. He struck out two.
Scouting Report
Has great movement on his fastball, plus enough off-speed pitches to keep hitters off-kilter. Owns a solid frame for the big leagues. Needs to strengthen his legs, since he already has a history of lower-body issues. Could stand to improve his changeup for best results in MLB.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent reliever.
