    For a player who went undrafted out of high school and had to be coaxed by Georgia Tech coaches to walk on as a freshman, Brown has come a long way. He’s no longer the skinny righthander with the fastball in the low 80s; now he’s filled out to a more ideal pitcher’s build of 6-foot-3, 175 pounds, and he’s developed into a power pitcher, throwing in the high 80s. Some scouts have him ranked right behind Texas lefthander Greg Swindell in sizing up this year’s pitching crop, particularly after he clearly outshone Wake Forest righthander Erik Hanson in a recent matchup of potential No. 1 draft picks that attracted 10 scouting directors to Atlanta.
