Timeline

1982

Kelly Andrew Johnson (born February 22, 1982) is an American former professional baseball second baseman.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and New York Mets.

While primarily a second baseman, Johnson has appeared at every position except for pitcher, catcher, and center field during his career.

2000

Johnson was drafted in the first round (38th overall) of the 2000 Major League Baseball draft by the Atlanta Braves.

Johnson decided to forego a scholarship offer to play college baseball at Texas A&M in favor of signing with the Braves.

2005

Johnson made his Major League debut with the Braves on May 29, 2005, and became a regular outfielder, due to the many injuries that plagued the Braves early in the 2005 season.

Johnson was named the National League Player of the Week for the week of June 13 after batting .417 with three home runs and 11 RBIs in 24 at-bats.

2006

An elbow injury sidelined Johnson for the entire 2006 season.

He was placed on the disabled list during spring training after experiencing pain while making throws from the outfield, and had Tommy John surgery performed by Dr. James Andrews on June 1.

During the offseason, Johnson spent many hours with Braves first base coach Glenn Hubbard at Turner Field to learn how to play second base effectively.

2007

Johnson earned the starting position at second base and as the leadoff hitter for the Braves for the 2007 season.

On April 8, 2007, Johnson hit the first leadoff homer of his career in a 3–2 win against the New York Mets.

In late June, Johnson lost his position as the leadoff hitter in the Braves lineup.

In the 48 games Johnson played in May and June, his on-base percentage was .325, well below the acceptable rate for a good leadoff hitter.

Willie Harris, who took over the role as primary leadoff hitter, had an on-base percentage of .440 prior to June 22 (Johnson's last game as the leadoff hitter), prompting Braves manager Bobby Cox to make the change.

(As of August 10, Johnson had an on-base percentage of .419 since June 22.) In addition to being demoted from the top of the order, Johnson's offensive struggles motivated Cox to move Johnson into a platoon at second base with Yunel Escobar.

He capped off his year with 16 homers and a .276 batting average.

2008

With Escobar taking over full-time at shortstop, Johnson began the year as the Braves second baseman for the 2008 season.

Johnson had the longest hitting streak in the National League of the 2008 season, hitting in 22-straight games.

He hit .398 with 19 RBIs in 25 games in September.

Johnson ended the 2008 season with a .287 batting average, 12 homers, 69 RBIs, 86 runs, and 11 stolen bases.

2009

In 2009, Johnson lost his full-time starting position with the Braves.

He increased his contact rate on pitches inside the strike zone, as well as swinging at more pitches outside the strike zone.

This pattern is associated with a less-aggressive swing and was associated with his poor results in 2009.

On December 12, 2009, Johnson, was non-tendered by the Atlanta Braves making him a free agent.

On December 30, 2009, Johnson signed a one-year, $2.35 million contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona had previously shown interest in acquiring Johnson from the Braves.

Johnson said this about his new team,

"[Phoenix is] just a place I've always liked, it's one of the top for me. Just with the team, we've got guys all over the field that are young, athletic, tons of talent. It's one of the places that you come in and you did not want to face the guys that were on the mound."

He received the Player of the Month award for the month of April, his first month as a player for the Diamondbacks.

He earned the award by hitting nine home runs and a .750 slugging percentage.

In his first 22 games, Johnson batted .313 (25-80) with 18 RBI, 17 runs scored and a .404 OBP.

2010

On July 23, 2010, Johnson successfully hit for the cycle against the San Francisco Giants.

Johnson hit a solo home run in the first, a ground-rule double in the fifth, a two-run triple in the sixth and completed it with a single in the eighth.

Johnson tied the game at 1 with his home run, almost tied the game with a double but it was a ground-rule so Young was held at third base, tied the game at 3 with a 2-run triple, and represented the tying run with his single.

2011

On May 21, 2011, Johnson launched a pitch from Minnesota Twins closer Matt Capps deep into the right-field bleachers at Chase Field for a grand slam that capped the Diamondbacks rally from down 6-3 and made the score 9–6, which would be the final score.

On July 8, 2011, Johnson hit his second grand slam in the season off St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kyle Lohse.

Johnson gave the D-backs the lead in the seventh to break a tie 7–3.

2015

He was on the New York Mets' postseason roster in 2015, where he appeared in his first World Series.

2018

Johnson was the first player to appear in a game for all five American League East teams; Steve Pearce became the second in 2018.
