Hudson Johnson brings strikeout bite and multi-inning value to Cincinnati's bullpen
Hudson Johnson emerged in the 2025 season as a useful left-handed bullpen arm for Cincinnati, making 22 appearances and posting several multi-inning outings, including 5 strikeouts in 2.1 scoreless innings against Miami and 4 strikeouts in 2.1 scoreless innings versus Louisville. He also picked up wins at Duke and against UCF, showing he can hold up in leverage and cover innings without blinking. The appeal is simple: a live LHP with real swing-and-miss flashes, poise, and the kind of competitive edge coaches love when the game starts getting spicy.
