 39 RHP

Ryan Johnson

Dallas Baptist

Johnson really surged hard approaching the 2021 MLB Draft but went unselected due to signability concerns and a strong commitment to the pitching factory that is Dallas Baptist. 

The fastball has already been up 100 mph, but more commonly floats a tick below that. There's some refinement necessary in terms of tempo and effort on the mound, though he should be plenty capable with the long, well-levered body that Johnson owns. 

The slider is a shorter, late biting breaking ball, while his changeup, arguably his best secondary, has some darting action away from lefties and late tumble. 

Developing consistent fastball shape, throwing more strikes, and finding more consistency in the operation will be top priorities for Johnson on campus moving forward. The stuff is obviously huge.
