LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 South Top Prospect Showcase
Paul Johnson is a 2016 RHP/OF with a 6-2 190 lb. frame from Nacogdoches, TX who attends Central Heights. Large, athletic frame with a high waist and long limbs with room to add additional strength. Very good athlete, ran a 6.71 60-yard dash. Primary right-handed pitcher, starts delivery wit ha small side step into high leg lift with hip turn at top. Uses lower half well to drive down the mound, three-quarter arm slot at release and will drop lower with intent to give different look. Fastball topped at 80 mph, mostly true in life with occasional running life. Flashed a slider, sweeping life at 68 mph. Short arm action in the outfield with a lower slot at release, showed arm strength and projects for more with incorporation of lower half. Switch-hitter, starts with a slightly open stance right-handed with a toe tap trigger. Shorter path to ball and hits it out front, extension at contact and shows strength to pull side. Quick hands from the left side, starts with wide base and open stance. Short to ball and shows interesting strength with ability to generate bat speed. Very good student.
