Josh Johnson Gets Nasty With it...

Josh Johnson is pitching lights out baseball again this year, he is 8 -2 with a 1.80 era. Johnson just came off a great win against the Tampa Bay Rays one of the hottest teams in baseball. He threw 8 innings with 9 strikeouts giving up only 1 earned run. In the last 30 innings of work JJ has given up only 3 earned runs.

Johnson has struck out 98 batters in 100 innings of work, or .98 batters per inning. Johnson's has averaged .89 strikeouts per inning throughout his career, which out him above average this year.

If Johnson gets his strikeout count above 1.o per inning you could see him easily grab another 10 victories ending the season right near 20 wins. If his stats are evident of what he will do all season this will be a great year for JJ.
