San Francisco Giants prospect Chase Johnson

 

GIANT Potential

This is a guy I could see moving up prospect charts pretty rapidly. A low 90's fastball and a tweener breaking ball (curve/slurve) with a build similar to Chris Heston, may leave his ceiling at a 3rd or 4th starter. But you need guys like that too. Johnson was a reliever in college, so a move back to the bullpen would not be out of the question either.

Johnson is currently stationed in High-A San Jose, so his approximate ETA in San Francisco would be either 2019 based on a one year per level adavnce or 2017 if he amps it up and hits the bigs by 25. Heston just turned 27 years old, I believe, so maybe patience is a virtue after all.
