Marcus Johnson

Pitching scouting report · 80Grade

Scouting summary

Back-end starter or swingman with enough strike throwing to compete, but the hit and home-run damage keep the ceiling modest. The 2025 strikeout and walk profile is playable, yet the results point more toward a survival starter than an impact arm. If the fastball shape or a secondary pitch takes a step forward, he could stabilize as a fringe major league arm.

Projected MLB role: up-down starter
