Brown played the majority of his games last season in Portland. There, in 254 at bats, he had 68 hits, struck out 64 times, and walked 28 times. His Batting Average (.268), On Base Percentage (.344), and Slugging average (.453) were all decent. In Pawtucket he didn't fair as well. He played 8 games, struck out 10 times, walked 2 times, and had 5 hits. His Batting Average was only .185, his On Base Percentage was .241, and his Slugging average was .259.
Defensively, in Portland he had 500 put outs and 57 assists. He turned 6 double plays. He had 15 passed balls and was charged with 5 errors. In Pawtucket, he had 60 put outs and 5 assists. He turned 1 double play. He had 5 passed balls and was charged with 1 error.
The scouting report says that he is an excellent defensive catcher and calls a good game. He has a very strong arm and a decent bat. He also has good plate discipline but can be a streaky hitter. He's athletic but not particularly quick.
He played in the Arizona Fall League this past autumn and he's expected to begin in Pawtucket next year. Catchers are generally late bloomers so there are probably good things in his future.
