We have seen Brown showcase his skills behind the plate but this was the first time we have seen him at 3B. The physical ‘20 grad is very athletic at the hot corner and presents the glove well and has nice carry on throws to 1B. Very solid defender at both places. Stands tall at the plate with an open stance and shows a very simple approach to getting the barrel to the hitting zone as there is no wasted movement. Does a nice job incorporating his strong lower half and shows nice power off the bat middle to pull side. Generates carry off the barrel with some tilt in the swing creating backspin. Very nice athlete as well.
Slade Brown (2020, C, Lauderdale County) 6’2 220 lbs.- 7.19.18- a physical player with matching athletic ability as well. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.50 seconds and was impressive behind the plate showing a C velo of 70 mph and a C pop time range between 2.21-2.27. Showed well receiving pitches and was very athletic blocking balls in the dirt. In BP, he really created some pop with a powerful lower half and fluid swing path through the zone. Showed the ability to use the entire field with an exit velocity of 84 mph off of a tee.
