Carter Johnson - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 1st: "Johnson’s swing is compact and quick, enabling him to handle pitches in all areas of the zone thanks to above-average bat-to-ball skills. He’s a line-drive hitter who can use the entire field, though scouts are mixed on exactly how much more strength and power he’ll add in the future."

MLB.com - July 1st: "He doesn't have any trouble handling velocity, but he needs to do a better job of staying back on offspeed pitches. Most of his present power goes to his pull side, but as he gets stronger, his pop should play to all fields and he could provide 20 homers per year."

Prospects Live - May 29th: "His hands work quick, his hips fire, and there's plenty of bat speed. He has performed at every summer event that he has attended, and shows an ability to barrel up stuff, as well as taking what the pitcher gives him."

Joe Doyle - Future Star Series - March 18th: "Defensively, Johnson has a strong brand with the glove, an above average shortstop that might be able to stay at the position as he continues to grow into his physical frame. As mentioned, he's not the twitchiest, quick-fire guy, instead providing reliable, steady work at the position through technique and fundamentals."

MLB.com - March 8th: "He doesn't have any trouble handling velocity, but he needs to do a better job of staying back on offspeed pitches. Most of his present power goes to his pull side, but as he gets stronger, his pop should play to all fields and he could provide 20-25 homers per year."
