    Johnson may throw as hard as any pitcher in the country, but he’s erratic, has questionable makeup and could go anywhere from the first to third rounds. “He has a chance to have the best fastball in the country this year,” said one West Coast scout. He’s not uncoordinated, either, and he continues to get better.
