Brown turned in one of the best pitching performances that we've seen, to cap off a stellar opening weekend of high school baseball. With each look, it feels like Brown continues to add strength to his 6'2" frame, especially in his lower half. In this start, he faced off against Calvary Baptist on a cold and dreary afternoon; conditions that are far from ideal for a pitcher, but that didn't bother the LSU commit. He ran sat 85-88 mph with his fastball and maintained that velocity from the first to the last. The fastball command that he had could only be described as special, as he was able to locate in, out, up and down, rarely missing his target, on route to throwing a complete game no-hitter, while striking out 17 and walking 0. If the velocity can tick up a few MPH this spring, do not be surprised for Brown to gain some helium heading into the summer circuit, as MLB organizations shift their focus to the 2023 draft class.
