BREAKING: Pirates select Termarr Johnson with fourth overall pick in 2022 MLB Draft

The Pittsburgh Pirates selected Termarr Johnson in the first round with the fourth overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft.

Johnson is an 18-year-old current shortstop from Georgia, but he projects to be a second baseman in the pros and is one of the best hitting prospects to come out in a while.

The 5’10” left-handed hitter, who is committed to Arizona State in the fall, has a 70 hit rating and 60 power rating according to Mlb.com, with some evaluators reportedly giving Johnson an 80 on hit rating, the highest score available.
