Tatum Johnson became Iowa State’s breakout on-base and power threat in 2025
In the 2025 season, Johnson made a full-time move to the outfield and delivered a breakout junior year, leading Iowa State in OPS, slugging, and on-base percentage while ranking among the team’s top run producers with 7 homers and 25 walks[1]. She stands out for disciplined plate skills, gap-to-gap power, and the ability to force pitchers into mistakes; Iowa State also named her Big 12 Player of the Week after a 5-1 stretch in which she went 8-for-15 with 9 walks and 2 homers[3]. That mix of patience, pop, and versatility in center field makes her a strong fit for programs wanting an impact bat with run-producing upside[1][3].
