It's hard for me to get enthusiastic about Boston's latest soft-tossing lefty. He doesn't throw hard (not even touching 90),
his pitches have movement, but his super-slow curve doesn't miss many bats, and his slider is all over the place.
On the bright side, he did manage to carve out a nice little donut hole of mistake avoidance in the center of the plate, just above the belt.
Overall, Brian Johnson's performance makes me wistful for a Henry Owens who can keep his fastball out of trouble.
