2 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Ben Brown was selected in the 33rd round of the 2017 draft. Although his path to High-A has taken a while, he still has plenty of value in store. Not only has Brown defied the odds of a 33rd-rounder and posted great numbers in the minors, but he's also just 22 years old and still has plenty of impressive baseball ahead of him. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound hurler has a mid-to-upper-90s fastball and two very effective breaking balls. He projects as a starter but could certainly shift to a multi-inning relief role if his production indicates a change of scenery is necessary. Brown had another great game this past week, tossing a seven-inning shutout. He allowed just two hits and zero walks while striking out a whopping 13 batters. The right-hander has steadily improved his control and is garnering plenty of attention in the minors. As of now, he has the makings of a key impact player in Philadelphia's system.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
