Chesty Chet Johnson Keeps Fans With Showy Style
Sacramento pitcher Chet Johnson, a quirky southpaw from the Pacific Coast League, mixes showmanship with solid play. He flirts with danger on the mound, flips the ball in air before delivery, and delivers a two armed windup akin to Bobo Newsom. Johnson, who had a 12-14 record and 0.359 ERA last season, seeks to revive his career with Sacramento after a earlier stint with the Browns. His brother Earl pitched for the Red Sox after WWII. Chet has not had a winning season since 1950 but remains a crowd favorite.
