Armed with the fourth overall pick, the Pittsburgh Pirates went away from their blueprint from the previous two years under Ben Cherington and drafted high school infielder Termarr Johnson.
One of the best hitters in the draft, Johnson was given a ’70’ hit tool by MLB Pipeline, and his player bio said that a scout actually gave him an ’80’ grade.
For reference, Wander Franco had an ’80’ hit tool on MLB Pipeline, and he was rated as the top prospect in the game for multiple years.
For someone with his frame (reportedly 5’8″), Johnson packs a punch and is someone that is seen with 25+ home run potential.
