Kel Johnson6-9-13 - 18.Kel Johnson, 1B (Georgia HS): One of the best power bats in the high school ranks. Remains to be seen if he ends up at 1st base, or if he can play a solid outfield. http://www.minorleaguerundown.com/2013/06/09/2014-mlb-draft-top-30-prospects/

7-2-13 - 2014 Top 100 High School Prospects - 6. Kel Johnson- OF-1B, Palmetto (GA) - Hits everything hard. Had a home run at TOS and a three home run day a couple days ago at a Perfect Game event http://www.ninebaseball.org/Wordpress/jeff-sullivans-top-100-2014-prospects/
7-22-13 - Perfect Game USA @PerfectGameUSA - 2014 Kel Johnson just drilled a HR to put the East Cobb Braves on top. Ball comes off his bat different. Wow! #PGTourney
7-24-13 - Kel Johnson, of/1b, Homeschooled, Palmetto, Ga./FTB Mizuno - Johnson showed toughness and determination battling through a stomach virus during TOS. He has strength throughout his large 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame. The Georgia Tech commit’s calling card is his bat. Johnson, who has a loud setup with lots of moving parts and unique timing mechanisms for his hands and front leg, has good bat speed with a swing path conducive to power—especially to his pull side. He has above-average raw power and can put on a show in batting practice. The righthanded hitter is faster than quick and has enough arm and speed to handle an outfield corner. Johnson is homeschooled, a rarity for potential pro prospects. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/

8-11-13 - Player: Kel Johnson Primary Position: OF Secondary Position(s): 1B Height/Weight: 6’4/215 Bats/Throws: R/R Date of Birth: 7/8/1995 Home Town: Palmetto, GA School: Home School Travel Team(s): East Cobb Braves Class of: 2014 Committed To: Georgia Tech = Scouting Notes: - 2013 Tournament of Stars notes from Don Olsen: - Kel is a tall proportional lean athletic frame with strength in the wrists and forearms. He shows some projection, could gain another 20-25 pounds in a Jayson Werth type mold. Defensively, he has a good deal of arm strength and carries, routinely ropes it. Good first step and reacts well off the ball, logically a RF down the line. Bat stands out, extremely loud contact with a ton of backspin that leads to a great deal of raw power, easily in the plus grade and could rise higher. He displays outstanding pull power, and power to all fields. In game approach, works with good pitch recognition and turns on good velocity with line drive power, pulls mistakes with power. Sometimes stretches the zone, but shows the ability to drive the RCF gap, should be at least average contact, maybe above average with maturation. Speed should be at least average, good instinctive player on the bags, moves well, good double potential. Kel has across the board average to above average tools with a chance to plus, maybe higher power. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/08/11/2014-mlb-draft-profile-kel-johnson/
