View Draft Report
Brown's Devin Thomas is the top college catcher in the area. A switch-hitter with pop from both sides of the plate, He set Brown single-season records for home runs (16) and RBIs (64) this spring. He has always hit lefthanded pitching well, but he's improved against righties by learning to go to the opposite field from the left side. A good athlete, Thomas runs the 60-yard dash in 6.75 seconds and is mobile behind the plate. His arm is below-average, and he's just an adequate receiver.
