Johnston grew up in Azusa, California and played baseball at Gladstone High in Covina, California. His nickname was "Scar" due to a big scar on the left side of his face that he got from an accident when he was a child - he was hit by a garbage truck. At Gladstone Johnston played alongside Jack Clark, where he was considered just as good if not a better player at the time. After Gladstone, Johnston went to play baseball for Citrus College before joining the minor leagues.
