Cam Brown

RHP             TCU

2022 stats -  4.42 ERA, 53-IP. 49-K, 31-BB

 

2-27-23 - Opening Weekend -

Cam Brown, RHP, TCU– Physically, the 6-foot-3, 230-pounder is everything you’d want from a frontline starting pitcher. He is big, strong and just flat overpowers the baseball to produce mid-90s heat. However, his fastball plays much lighter than its velo. The 92-96 played soft and the Razorbacks attacked his fastball, finding barrel after barrel for several 100+ mph EVs over his 1.2 inning start. He allowed five hits, walked one, struck out one. The right-hander also mixed a 86-88 cutter with a 83-84 slider and seldom used mid-80s changeup. Last season Brown tallied a 4.42 ERA in 53 innings, along with 49 strikeouts and 31 walks. This season he will need to become more consistent with his command and not just throw to the middle of the plate. If he’s able to do this, earlier in Day Two is his likely landing spot.


1-19-23 - Top 25 Breakdown: No. 15 TCU

Pick to Click: RHP Cam Brown. Brown is one of the more fascinating, and talented, arms in college baseball. Brown struggled at times with his consistency last season and finished the campaign with an ERA north of four. However, the stuff is simply undeniable. He was up to 97-99 mph with his fastball during fall workouts, while the secondary stuff, particularly the changeup, made some serious strides. Brown has the ability to take a Chase Dollander-type of step forward from one year to the next. Will that happen? We’ll soon find out. But the tools are there for him to be special.

https://d1baseball.com/fall/tcu-2022/ 

As TCU looks ahead to the 2023 campaign, its success on the mound could legitimately hinge on the arm of righthander Cam Brown. 

Sure, that’s a lot to put on the shoulders of any pitcher, but Brown seems ready to take on the payload. Brown is a 6-foot-3, 225-pounder, who certainly looks the part when he takes the mound. Brown tallied a 4.42 ERA in 53 innings, along with 49 strikeouts and 31 walks last season. He has a fastball up to 97-99 mph on the radar gun, and the breaking stuff continues to improve.

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - LHP - Matthew Dallas

  Matthew Dallas LHP   2-6-23 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td-92ll4  - 86 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery operation in high school ball with long limbs and fantastic body control. It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP/OF - Nolan McLean

  Nolan McLean RHP/OF Oklahoma State   2-27-23 - Opening Weekend  - Nolan McLean , RHP/OF, Oklahoma State– The power hitting prospect has shifted from third base to the right field this season where his arm strength/raw power/defense tools profile well. During the Showdown he showed much more plate discipline with six walks against just two strikeouts compared to a 37/107 ratio in 242 at-bats last season. He also blasted a three-run home run to center field to put the Pokes back in the Vandy game, cutting the score to 11-8. It was a loud shot, one that needed earplugs from my seat. McLean is also a power prospect on the mound with a fastball up to 96 and a plus slider. He strong-armed Missouri for two strikeouts in the ninth inning to earn the save in State’s 5-3 win on opening night. I remain much more bullish on his abilities transferring into a big leaguer as a pitcher than hitter. He’s a third round prospect on the mound at this point.   2-19-23 - D1 - Week...

Right now it's gap-to-gap juice with a willingness to sell out for the pull-side when provided the opportunity. Stafura is bouncy and twitchy on the dirt with a big, plus throwing arm that can handle either spot on the left side of the infield.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 77 SS Sammy Stafura Walter Panas A double-plus runner with budding bat speed, Stafura has tools he can maximize as he grows into his body.
