Darius Johnson Jr is a 2022 OF/LHP with a 5-7 140 lb. frame from Watkinsville, GA who attends Oconee County. Medium and long frame with room to fill throughout. Ran a 7.38 second 60 yard dash. Primary outfielder, moves to the baseball with quick feet, stays low to the ball with athletic overall actions, could improve with additional momentum carried into his release, releases from an extended arm slot creating developing arm strength, topped out at 69 mph from the outfield. Secondary lefthanded pitcher, works exclusively from the stretch, takes a high and quick leg lift to begin his delivery, takes his arm back to a compact arm action up to a 3/4 arm slot at release, works to the plate with drop and drive actions, fastball is straight with occasional sinking action, topped out at 67 mph. Lefthanded hitter, sets up at the plate with an even stance and a high hand set, takes a direct hand path to contact, mostly compact swing with rotational as well as linear actions, showed some quickness to the baseball with a nice feel fro the barrel and some jump present when on time and squared. Good student.
