Most Viewed Player Profiles in SC

No. 2: Dion Brown

An uber athletic multi sport star in high school is committed to the Clemson Tigers.  A two way player on the baseball field, Dion shows smooth actions in the infield with a plus arm across the diamond.  A short swing with a gap to gap line drive approach.  On the mound shows an easy athletic delivery with good arm strength and tons of growth and potential left in the tank as he continues to mature physically.  Interesting to see which way he goes as he still has a few years till he gets to campus.
