Bryce Johnson, OF. DOB: 10/27/1995. B-S, T-R. 6'2", 180 lbs. Drafted 2017 Round 6
2017 College: .350/.453/.433, 12 2B, 5 3B, 33 SB, 34 BB, 41 K, 322 PA.
2017 SS: .329/.400/.369, 5 2B, 2 3B, 25 SB, 6.8 BB%, 20.8 K%, 250 PA.
Bryce Johnson fits the mold of a CF/leadoff hitter who got off to a nice start to his pro career with an aggressive initial placement in Salem-Keizer where he kept right on doing what he did in college, hit for average, get on base and steal bases. What he hasn't shown so far is any sort of power, even gap power. I mean, Kelby Tomlinson has more power than Johnson has shown so far! It's hard to see him surviving at higher levels unless he can add at least gap power to his game. He's a switch-hitter who you might expect to have better results from the left side(it's a couple of steps closer to 1B), but his L-R split, while significant, is not catastrophic, .289 R, .339 L. It should be noted that he played mostly corner OF in S-K while Malique Ziegler got most of the innings in CF.
