Full Name: John Cody Johnson Born: 08/18/1988 Birthplace: Panama City, FL Height: 6' 4" Weight: 195 Bats: L Throws: R



We all know about his light tower power but will he ever cut down on his strikeouts, 1 every 2.5 at bats.  The Carolina League mid and post season all-star had 32 HRs to go along with his 177 Ks. Let's hope he learns to be more selective or we may have a Adam Dunn in the making.

Actually we’d have an Adam Dunn in the making if he learns to be more selective.

ya currently we have a mark reynolds on our hands (except he doesnt have the speed)

Heyward,Hanson,and Shaffer r ready now!! Why do you think they havent signed the "right handed bat"?

Mark Reynolds as you said has speed and actually plays competent defense unlike cody

i meant mostly with the bat and should have clarified that… their walk rates are similar as are their K rate (except of course Mark is doing that in the ML and Cody is in A+)

but you are right Mark has adequate defense and some speed (although getting caught 27% of the time isnt actually that useful… if he can cut that down his speed might be useful, but right now its probably just hurting the team)

Uh, yeah, being “another Adam Dunn” is pretty much the absolute best case scenario for what we could hope to see from Johnson as a player.

These pictures are gorgeous. Love the 3rd and 4th ones.

Obviously. You rarely get the 3/4 two cheek view.
