Organization Prospect Rankings
TRACK RECORD: Brown's father, Kevin, had a seven-year career as a backup catcher. Logan signed with the Braves as a 35th-round pick out of Division II Southern Indiana and has begun following in his father's footsteps. He spent his first full season at the Class A levels and hit just one home run, but his defense stood out and the Braves brought him to the alternate training site in 2020.
SCOUTING REPORT: Brown's defense is his calling card. He's a strong receiver who pitchers love throwing to and who does everything teams want to see defensively. He has solid, reliable hands and can frame pitches, block and call a solid game. He has easy plus arm strength and threw out 40 percent of basestealers in his pro debut. Brown leaves much to be desired offensively. He's a ground ball hitter with some contact skills, but offers very little impact and does not control the strike zone.
THE FUTURE: Brown's defense is good enough to give him a shot at being a backup catcher. His offense will need to improve for him to get even there.
TRACK RECORD: A 35th round pick who signed for $125,000, Brown is the son of Kevin, who was a backup catcher in the majors for seven years and also attended Southern Indiana. The Braves were one of only a few teams interested in Brown during his junior year and loved his defensive skills.
SCOUTING REPORT: Brown has easy plus arm strength that will draw 70-grade evaluations on his best days and threw out 38 percent of runners in the Florida State League and 42 percent of runners in the South Atlantic League. Brown also has good hands and does a nice job receiving, blocking and handling a staff. He has all the tools and ability to become an above-average defender, but his bat needs plenty of work. His swing is stiff from the left side and he lacks present strength to impact the ball with much authority, with well below-average power currently. That said, the Braves were impressed with his contact ability and his improvements, and have hope that he will fill out and add strength in the future.
THE FUTURE: Brown has a solid backup catching profile, with some upside as a second-division regular who might do enough offensively to survive in the back of a lineup.
