Brown was quietly raising his draft profile with North Carolina State this season after hitting .338/.429/.692 with five home runs through the first 17 games of the season. Plenty of scouts and crosscheckers got looks at Brown, thanks to teammate Patrick Bailey being a likely first-round prospect. A third baseman and corner outfielder, Brown’s biggest tool is his raw power. It’s strength over bat speed with Brown, but he has a compact, comfortable swing and the ability to drive the ball to all fields and is one of the strongest players on the team. Listed at 5-foot-11, 200 pounds, some scouts believe Brown has a chance to stick at third base, but he has enough power to profile in a corner if he continues to hit. Brown has never produced at the sort of level he was showing in 2020, so teams will have to try and decide if this was a breakout season in the works, or just a strong start to the season. Still, five home runs and six doubles are both career-bests for Brown, so there was clearly some shift in his game this season.
