Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. Because he can't overpower hitters, Johnson has to fool them instead. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Johnson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Johnson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Johnson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
