Cody Johnson is a 2006 outfielder/first baseman from Panama City, FL with a MLB type body at 6-4, 195 lbs. He showed the physical tools and skills that make him one of the top prospects in the 2006 class, if not the very best. Despite his size and long limbs, Johnson has very good speed and ran the 60 in 6.69 and was 4.33 down to first base. His defensive fundamentals are a bit raw in the outfield but he has pro level arm strength at 86 mph and that and his speed give him the chance to be a prototype right fielder. At the plate Johnson generates plus, plus bat speed and has unmatched raw power in the 2006 class. He has very active hands in his set up and will often start his swing from a low, cocked hand position that would put a lesser athlete in a poor position to hit the ball. One of the keys to Johnson's approach at the plate is his ability to recognize pitches early and keep his hands back and drive the ball to the opposite field on off speed stuff and pitches away from him. The majority of the home runs we saw Johnson hit this year were to left center to centerfield. He can take the ball out of any part of the ball park when he centers the ball. As if he could show people he could do a bit of everything, Johnson even came in to pitch and inning and threw 90 with a 75 mph curveball. He has big league tools right now and still has a ton of physical projection. In fact, Johnson didn't turn 17 until late in the summer. He's a very good student off the field and has committed to Florida State.

Johnson is a very talented 6-4 athlete from north Florida who we were able to see for the first time at the National Underclass Showcase. He put his name among the top potential 5 tool players in the 2006 class. It’s worth noting that Johnson’s birthdate could easily make him a 2007 grad, so he’s very young. Despite his size and long limbs, Johnson has excellent speed, running the 60 in 6.79. He played first base in the drills and threw 88 mph across the infield, maybe the best velocity we’ve ever seen from a first baseman. At the plate, Johnson has an aggressive, fast, extended swing and can hit the ball as far as anyone in his class that we’ve seen. He has lots of hand action and load prior to his swing and starts his swing with a low hand position, but has the hand strength and quickness to get away with it right now. While Johnson took obvious interest in hitting some bombs in BP and might have been over striding a bit, he had a calmer game approach and showed good plate coverage and discipline. Johnson’s arm strength across the infield translated well to the mound. His mechanics are on the raw side, but his arm action is quick and short and his stuff was solid. Johnson topped out at 88 mph on his fastball with some life and threw a pretty decent 76 mph slider. His curveball and change up showed his lack of pitching experience. Johnson is a very good student as well. Top National 06 draft prospect!
