Daniel Johnson is our No. 13 Cleveland Indians prospect. Who should be No. 14?

Speedy, slugging outfielder Daniel Johnson is our No. 13 Cleveland Indians prospect after the Indians acquired him (along with reliever Jefry Rodriguez and infielder Andrew Monasterio) from the Washington Nationals in a trade for Yan Gomes.

A fifth round pick by the Nationals out of New Mexico State in 2016, Johnson rocketed through the system, with a breakout season in 2017.

After hitting just one home run through 62 games in his Low-A debut in 2016, Johnson crushed 22 long balls over 130 games in 2017 while advancing to full season at the Single-A and A+ levels, putting up a combined .298/.356/.505 slashline while also stealing 22 bases.

Johnson was hampered by a broken hamate injury in 2018, which sapped his power as he made his Double-A debut, but he still put up respectable numbers and stealing another 22 bases and only being caught four times. He only managed six home runs, however.

At the time of the Gomes trade, Johnson was ranked the No. 4 prospect in the Nationals’ system on Fangraphs and a top 10 prospect by MLB Pipeline.

When healthy, Johnson shows true 20/20 potential at the plate with average to above average ability to make consistent contact, although his strikeout rate spiked last season to 23 percent in his Double-A debut. He also has a cannon arm and can play all three outfield positions, although it’s likely he ends up in right field. Of note, he had the hardest hit ball and hardest thrown ball of the entire Arizona Fall League season this year.

Depending on depth in the Indians’ system at outfield Johnson could start 2019 either in Double-A or Triple-A. He’s behind a few players on the depth chart to make an appearance with the Tribe in 2019, but if he returns to his 2017 form, he could be arriving sooner rather than later.
