LHP Cameron Johnson (IMG Academy, FL), an LSU recruit, has shown nothing but swing-and-miss stuff against the top hitters in the country. An imposing 6-foot-5 230-pound southpaw, he is relaxed under the limelight which allows his explosive stuff to shine. Vicious on left-handed hitters from a whippy, low ¾ slot with a mid 90s fastball that features heavier arm side life, Johnson attacks the zone with a whiff-happy fastball. His enticing upside is only enhanced by a sweeping slider (77-79) that he demonstrates some ability to manipulate, and developing feel for a low 80s changeup. There is some funk to the delivery with the ball jumping a bit at the plate, and the crude swings that are given only help in highlighting his frontline profile.

14. Cameron Johnson, LHP, Bishop McNamara HS (Md.)

Johnson is a big left-hander with a high-spin fastball that can sit in the mid-90s and is tough to pick up. He complements it with a nasty upper-70s slider that has missed a ridiculous amount of bats all summer, and he’ll show the makings of a solid changeup. He’ll be pitching for Team USA.

IMG Academy, Upper Marlboro, MD

Johnson is a big, projection lefty up to 94 with plenty of arm-side run and sink coming out of a deceptive, low slot. He's begun spinning a better breaking ball of late, a weapon against both-handed hitters. Scouts are split on whether he'll be able to start at the next level, but this is an out-getter with a big, strong, projection frame that could throw pretty hard as he gets more and more comfortable on the bump.
