Wichita State's power-armed lefty with real strikeout upside
Mitchell Johnson is a big-bodied, left-handed pitcher for Wichita State whose appeal is his swing-and-miss upside and starter’s frame, with profile notes showing a fastball that has touched the mid-90s and a deep pitch mix. In 2024, he worked 46.1 innings with 41 strikeouts and 43 walks, so the raw stuff is intriguing, but command remains the separator for his next step. He looks like the kind of arm that can fit a staff needing projection, competitiveness, and left-handed value.
