Queens RHP Johnny Joseph brings size, experience, and strike-throwing upside despite uneven results in 2025
Johnny Joseph is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound right-hander whose value is more about projection and bullpen experience than box-score dominance: Queens lists him as a Charlotte native who has worked multiple relief seasons, including 2024 when he logged 20.2 innings across 16 outings and struck out a season-high four in his first collegiate appearance; in 2025, his official Queens line showed 10.0 innings with a 21.60 ERA and four strikeouts, while third-party tracking credited him with a 2-0/11.93 ERA type line across 14.1 innings, suggesting he has not yet found consistent command or run prevention. If your staff wants a big-bodied, competitive arm with collegiate mileage and upside for a development-heavy role, he is a reasonable fit; if you need immediate high-leverage certainty, he is not that profile yet.
