Overall: After being one of the youngest players drafted in the 2018 draft, Johnson has had nothing but setbacks to begin his pro career playing just 48 games since being drafted, but looks like a brand new player in 2021. Added physicality and a new, reworked swing has stood out in early looks this season. Swing is significantly shorter allowing his plus bat speed to impact the baseball and show his above average raw power. There is still some swing and miss to his game, but has refined his overall approach that should lead to better results. There are still some question marks to where Johnson will end up defensively, but it's very likely 3B or even a corner OF spot could be in his near future. Still just 20 years old, 2021 will be a major point in his development.
