Drafted in the 10th round (328th overall) by the San Francisco Giants in 2012 (signed for $125,000).
View Draft Report
Brown's versatility has been a major asset for the Bruins, as he can play all around the infield and behind the plate. His primary role this spring has been as starting first baseman, but he catches on Tuesdays to give Tyler Heineman a break. Scouts aren't sold that the 6-foot-2, 195-pound Brown is agile enough to catch as a pro, but he does have a quick transfer and a serviceable arm. Whoever drafts him will likely give him a chance behind the plate, and his decent infield actions provide versatility. Brown has a nice righthanded swing and a feel for his barrel, giving him a chance to be a fringe-average hitter, but with well below-average power.
