As you are keeping up with your Oriole News:
Saturday afternoon, reliever Jim Johnson tossed a scoreless eighth inning and looked sharp in doing it. Saturday was the first time this spring that Johnson has thrown on consecutive days.“I thought JJ had his best outing of the spring,” manager Buck Showalter said. “The biggest thing is the location. You can tell when he is locating the ball, he feels good about himself. I think that second day in a row did him well.”
Johnson was clocked at 94 mph during a 19- pitch inning, which he also picked up a strikeout, and then Showalter said that it was good to see Johnson back to his old self.
“There was some unknown. He went through a little bit of an offseason that he has never done before,” said Showalter. “Like I said before, I always feel like he is going to get there, it was just a matter of time. And that was real encouraging today. ”
