Tigers' Cooper Johnson: Impresses in spring
Rotowire
Johnson got work at big-league camp in spring training and looked comfortable working with the pitching staff, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Johnson is a relatively unheralded prospect, having been selected in the sixth round in 2019, but he's at least on the map if he's getting a look in big-league camp. The 22-year-old struggled at Low-A West Michigan last season with a .179 batting average, so there's still plenty of work for him to do before he's knocking on the door for the Tigers.
