Drafted in the 5th round (179th overall) by the Atlanta Braves in 2012 (signed for $222,000).
View Draft Report
Brown has one of the best packages of tools in the Big 12 Conference, but
he doesn't always play up to them. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder has plus
speed and raw righthanded power to go with solid arm strength and
center-field defense. The question is how much he'll hit in pro ball. He
has a hesitant approach at the plate, struggles against breaking balls and
whiffed 53 times in 52 regular-season games. He also needs to get more
aggressive to get the most out of his physical ability, which remains
tantalizing enough that he could go as high as the fifth or sixth round.
