Scouting Report (Baseball America, 11/13/07)
Strengths: While Greg Golson, Quintin Berry and D’Arby Myers can match or exceed his above-average speed, Brown has a bigger and more physical presence. He has gap power now and plenty of home run potential for the future. He’s not one-dimensional at the plate, as he uses the whole field and has advanced plate discipline and pitch recognition for his age. He’s also adept at bunting. A plus defender with enough range and closing speed to play center field, he fits in right field with his above-average arm strength.
Weaknesses: Brown is still raw in some phases of the game. He needs to improve as a basestealer (he got caught in seven of 21 attempts), and he can take better routes and make more accurate throws in the outfield. As he continues to grow into his huge 6-foot-5 frame, he’s likely to slow down somewhat and lose his plus speed.
