Brown

6/27/18 - 6-foot-1, 175 pound frame. Brown showed some interesting abilities as projectable left hander running his fastball up to 84 mph using a low ¾ release. Fully extended arm swing, arm appeared late getting up at times. Quick hip, rotational lower half. Considerable amount of trunk flexion at ball release over a locked out, stabilized front leg. Overall tempo and rhythm could improve. Change up flashed impressive fading action at 74-76 mph. Slider ranged from 71-75 mph with and inconsistent rotation. Also showed a cutter at 78 mph that could develop into an effective weapon. Brown has the arsenal to be very tough on left handed hitters at the next level with continued development and refinement.

1/28/18 - 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame. Filled up the zone with sinking 81-84, T85 mph fastball that turned in to a bunch of ground ball outs. Lots of moving parts in delivery, tilting his shoulders and closing off his upper half to hide the baseball. Some head violence through release. Not a comfortable at-bat for hitters. Proven ability to get outs. Both secondary offerings were inconsistent on this day. 71-74 mph slider was his preferred pitch after the fastball and showed loose rotation. 70-74 mph changeup was seldom used. Development of secondary offerings will dictate what level prospect he becomes. Has made recent velo jump and has consistently shown ability to get outs with his sinker.
