FROM 2025 FUTURE GAMES:

RHP Braylen Brown (Staunton) was the first member of Team Select’s rotation to take the mound at the Senior Future Games. Standing in at a lean 6-foot-2, 195-pounds, Brown works down the mound with ease and fluidity and throws out of a high ¾ slot. He showcased two pitches with a quality feel for spin on both his fastball and breaking ball. Brown offered his fastball in the 86-89 mph range and topped out at 90 mph, with the fastball averaging 2370 rpm. The curveball played with over 2,800 rpm, showing sharp action with 11/5 shape.

RHP Braylon Brown (Staunton, IL, 2027) solidified himself as a must-follow arm in Illinois’ sophomore class with a standout showing. At 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, Brown offers a lean, projectable frame with room to add strength, and he moves with fluidity down the mound, featuring a clean, loose arm action and effortless tempo. Since our last look, Brown has made noticeable strides, with his fastball now sitting at 85–90 mph, topping at 91, and showing impressive carry through the zone (17.2” IVB). His separator is a tight, high-spin 69–70 mph slider that profiles as a true swing-and-miss pitch—spinning up to 2,670 RPM with -18.6” of horizontal movement. He also mixed in a developing changeup at 80–84 mph with heavy arm-side fade. Brown is a high-upside arm that college coaches should have on their radar.
