The Book on Cody Johnson
Prospect Info
Cody Johnson
Born 8/18/1988
1B, ATL
A player who showed unmatchable power at the high school level, John Johnson Jr. is a raw but fascinating prospect in the Braves system who scouts call a southern version of Justin Morneau. As a prospect, he fits into the Lars Anderson / Chris Parmalee frame of reference: a player who could be a superstar if he learns the finer points of the game, but who might also fade into obscurity if he relies on nothing but home run swings.
While Atlanta has liked him in the outfield lately, the current glut of OF in the Braves system makes Three-Jay a better fit back at his natural 1B position.
