Though he's a high schooler who projects as a second baseman, Johnson is a potential No. 1 overall choice because he might be the best pure prep hitter in decades. He has a track record of pummeling pitchers on the showcase circuit and some evaluators give his bat top-of-the-scale 80 grades. One scout gave him a double Hall of Famer comparison by calling him a combination of Wade Boggs' plate discipline and Vladimir Guerrero Sr.'s bat-to-ball skills.
Johnson's hand-eye coordination and swing decisions make him an elite contact hitter from the left side of the plate. He isn't fazed by mid-90s fastballs or quality breaking balls, using his quick, compact stroke to drive the ball to all fields. Though his listed 5-foot-10 height might be a bit generous, his ability to barrel balls along with his bat speed and strength could make him a 25-30 homer threat in the big leagues.
A shortstop in high school, Johnson will change positions as a pro because his quickness and arm are more average than plus. His hands work well in the field as well as at the plate and he profiles best at second base, where he should be at least a solid defender. He committed to Arizona State in May.

As the 2022 Draft approached, Johnson emerged as not only one of the best pure hitters in the class, but was perceived to be one of the best high school hitters in recent memory. After hitting well on the summer showcase tour and continuing to impress during his senior season in Georgia, his name was mentioned as a possible No. 1 pick before he landed at No. 4 with the Pirates. Slowed out of the gate by a hamstring injury to kick off his first full season, Johnson struggled at first, but found his footing to homer 18 times, draw over 100 walks and earn a late bump up to High-A Greensboro.
Known for his incredible hand-eye coordination, swing decisions and contact rates entering pro ball, it was concerning that Johnson was striking out at a high rate to kick off his 2023 campaign. But after he shook off the rust from the missed time early, his K rate plummeted, from a 35.2 percent rate through the end of May to 23.2 percent for the remainder of the season. He has big-time power potential with plus bat speed and consistently worked deep counts, which can lend itself to some strikeouts.
A shortstop as an amateur, Johnson has settled in professionally at second base and should be just fine at the keystone with decent range, hands and enough arm. His bat will carry him to the big leagues and there’s excitement about what he can do, assuming health, to live up to his Draft billing.

In the past, high school players who profiled as second basemen weren't thought of as premium Draft prospects. But Johnson was very much the exception to that rule as he emerged as one of the best pure prep hitters scouts had seen in years. He teed off against good competition throughout the summer showcase circuit and kept impressing in his senior season, landing him in the conversation for the Draft's No. 1 pick before being taken No. 4 overall by the Pirates and given a slightly over-slot bonus of $7.2 million to sign.
The left-handed hitter combines elite hand-eye coordination and swing decisions to help him post otherworldly contact rates. He turns around premium velocity and good breaking stuff alike with fast hands and a compact stroke. He can drive the ball to all fields, and despite his listed 5-foot-10 frame, he routinely barrels up the baseball and uses bat speed and strength to generate the kind of power that could lead to 25-plus homers annually.
While Johnson was a shortstop in high school and got a little time there during his brief pro debut in 2022, he’s going to be a second baseman moving forward. His average arm and speed fit there better, although he leaned out his frame and worked with a speed and agility coach this offseason to improve his range. He does have good hands and footwork and should be a very capable defender at the keystone. But it’s his bat that could help him get to the big leagues faster than the typical high school player.
