Antonio
Brown Jr.

RHP/OF Antonio Brown Jr. (Homewood-Flossmoor, 2026) continues to impress with his raw arm-strength each time he steps in front of our scouting staff. Listed at 6-foot-1, 185-pounds, Brown has made noticeable progress to his frame with a now leaner and stronger build. On the mound, the right-hander worked his fastball up to 85 mph while sitting right at 84 mph throughout his ‘pen with arm-side run. He showed some feel for his changeup, thrown with arm-speed and heavy fading action at 72-74 mph, kept mostly down. He also went to a curveball and slider combination, both playing in the 68-70 mph range with developing spin.

RHP Antonio Brown Jr. (Homewood-Flossmoor, 2026) continues to show advanced arm-strength for his age. The 6-foot, 175-pound right-hander ran his fastball up to 83 mph, sitting 81-82 mph, which is even more impressive when you look at how he is doing it. Brown moves into a short balance point and uses a minimal stride down the mound, surely looking to have much more in the tank when he starts to use his levers more. 

RHP Antonio Brown Jr. (Homewood-Flossmoor, 2026) had maybe the most eye-opening ‘pen of the day, reaching up to 81.3 mph with much more in the tank. The 6-foot, 175-pound right-hander can easily add velocity with a couple easy mechanical tweaks and engaging his lower-half more in his delivery. His pure arm-strength makes him a big winner on the mound nonetheless.
