Scout’s note
Johnson's stuff grade of 1.18 puts him in the 99th percentile of the 756 AAA arms we track — the median is 0.05 — and that is a separation wide enough to look past a 5.34 ERA over 30.1 innings in Sacramento. Drafted 11th round in 2022 out of San Jose, he is 26 with 32 strikeouts in 24 games. The grade is a watchlist tag, not a promotion — but a 99th-percentile arm earns the attention.
