LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Southeast Uncommitted Showcase
Kyler Johnson is a 2016 3B/SS with a 6-3 215 lb. frame from Clinton, MS who attends Clinton. XL frame with impressive strength throughout body, very strong lower half. Hits from upright, narrow, slightly open stance with high hand set, short stride forward, slightly wrapped start but comes out of it well with hands. Needs to better shift weight forward into contact to unlock strength and jump off the barrel. Has good hand speed and shows the ability to backspin the ball into both gaps; HR power will certainly come with better utilization of lower half in swing. Strong in wrists and forearms. Worked out defensively in the infield. Shows solid actions for 3B, fielding mostly cleanly and showing solid footwork from fielding to release. Quality arm strength with accuracy, throws across IF topped at 81 MPH. Good student.
