Jack
Brown

Jack is a Louisville Cardinal commit who is ranked 79th Nationally in the 2024 class. In his outing at the PBR Classic he attacked the strike zone with primarily his FB. He showed flashes of a future plus breaking ball. Jack also shows a change up that had good movement and speed differential to keep hitters off balance. The breaking ball had tight spin that had some side to side movement, but bit downward to freeze hitters. The fastball sat 90-93 with no velocity drop as the game went on even after a 45 minute delay due to weather. Fastball had arm side run that kept balls away from barrels. Arm angle is a high 3/4 slot with a shorter arm action.
