LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 National Showcase
Nick Brown is a 2008 RHP/OF/3B with a 6'3'', 225 lb. frame from Warrenville, IL who attends Wheaton Warrenville South HS. He has a large framed, thick build with very good present strength. Brown will have to keep working hard to keep his body under control in the future. He is a surprisingly good runner for his size and build at 6.93. Brown has a well paced delivery and uses his strong lower half well to generate power to the plate. His fastball was consistently 88-89 mph and touched 90. Brown's fastball has some life and he showed that he liked pitching inside with it. Brown's upper 70's slider had good depth to it and a nice 2-plane break. He also had good arm speed and occasional hard sinking action on a mid 70's change up. Brown isn't especially projectable but he has a nice three pitch arsenal and the ability to use it. Brown showed some real power at the plate with an all or nothing approach as a hitter. He is a good student.
