DrB's 2019 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #38 Bryce Johnson

Bryce Johnson, OF.  DOB:  10/27/1995.  B-S, T-R.  6'1", 190 lbs.  Drafted 2017 Round 6.

2018 A+:  .249/.339/.324, 18 2B, 6 3B, 1 HR, 31 SB, 10.6 BB%, 22.7 K%, 511 PA.

Bryce Johnson is a slap and boogie hitter with almost no power.  Despite his lack of power, he has a knack for taking a walk and he is fast which means he has a chance to make it to MLB as a CF/leadoff hitter.  On the other hand, he'll probably have to develop at least some gap power to keep pitchers honest enough to maintain that walk rate.  Should get the chance to take it to the next level in AA Richmond for 2019.

  1. If he can get to SF, he'll have an OFer permanently stationed on a line between him and the triples alley corner.
    In 167 games, in 365 chances, he has "none" errors. Played well in 2016 Cape Cod League -- none errors there either.
    Do you have anything on his speed?
