Brown

Preseason All-Long Island (February 15, 2015)

Brown a 6-foot-1 190-pound sophomore with a tall slender built Defensively-  Seems to be passive at times and out of rhythm with a slow transfer.  Arm-action is down and long and throws from a high ¾ arm-slot with little carry on the ball and has slight recoil after release. Arm velocity 77mph. Offensively- At the plate he starts with a narrow upright stance, hands low and relaxed.  Loads straight back to the catcher and wraps inside his body.  Stride is long and wraps bat around head creating a long bat path to the ball.  Long but smooth through the hitting zone with a slight incline at contact.  Shoulders and hips stay closed and get’s some extension through the ball. Finishes over the shoulder with balance.  Exit velocity 79mph, and his home to first time 5.09. Pitching -  On the mound he rocks into a side step, balanced delivery. Knee lift is above belt, hands near chin before separation. Shoulders tilt uphill, short-quick arm action, throws from a high-3/4 slot, fastball sitting 79 mph, more in the tank. Long stride that he lands closed with, finish is over his front side.
