Head Coach Jack Leggett on Johnson: "Addison is a very exciting sophomore. He played almost all of the time as a freshman in left field. He is poised, more mature, and has really developed as a baseball player over the summer playing in the Cape Cod League. I look for him to have an outstanding year in 2008. He'll probably leadoff or hit at the top of the order. I think he can be one of the better players in the country at his position."

Scrappy outfielder who has good speed and has made several diving catches in the outfield...like his former high school and current Tiger teammate D.J. Mitchell, he did not make an appearance on the mound as a freshman, but the lefthander will have his opportunity on the mound during his sophomore season.
