Scouting Report
1/24/16 - Home-1st: 4.64, Position Velocity: OF-85, Exit Velocity: 77
6-foot-2, 170-pound left-handed hitter hits from a balanced stance, a short stride and rhythmic load initiate the swing, tends to wrap bat in load, flat bat path produced line drive contact especially to the opposite field, showed some pop to the left-center gap, could develop some power as he fills out his frame. Showed a two-handed approach to balls on the ground with some choppiness in footwork, long arm action with an over the top release produced good outfield velocity, interesting prospect with frame and current tools.
Max FB: 81, FB: 78-81, CB: 65-67, CH: 72-73, KN- 66
As a pitcher, with a good, projectable frame, uses long arm action through a high-3/4 to over the top slot with regular effort, showed good pitchability in filling up the strike zone with all pitches, fastball has some downward tilt, curveball shows solid 12/6 action and he locates it well at the bottom of the strike zone, solid changeup thrown with good arm action that shows late fade in the zone, also showed a knuckleball . Brown’s frame and arm action should allow him to see velocity gains in the near future.
