Hits from a balanced stance with a short stride, keeps the barrel in the zone a long time which allows him to produce line drive contact to all fields, flashed his speed in the position player workout and again in game play beating out an infield single, went 2-for-3 in his game after going 4-for-4 in last years Top Prospect Games, hits every time we see him, top of the order hitter at the next level.

3/10/20: Compact and strong at 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, Brown is a plus-plus runner who covers a lot of ground in center field. At the plate the left-handed hitter sets up in the back of the box with a slightly open and spread setup. He’s a rotational hitter with a short stride and very little weight transfer or separation. He hits off his backside with an opposite field approach and has the strength to drive the left center field gap. He ran a 4.11 on a 4-3 groundout and a 4.14 on a comebacker to the pitcher. Brown is also a base stealer with good instincts, having collected nine in 11 attempts already this season. With speed and defense as his main tools, he may receive some late round interest on Day Two, but without much over-the-fence pop Brown is more likely to be considered after the 10th round this June.
