But his best tool is his defensive acumen at shortstop. With his selection, Brown became the fourth OSU Cowboy drafted in this year’s first 138 picks.
Fun fact: Brown sounds like a fun hang. In college, Brown said he would “like to win a lifetime supply of Juicy Fruit” and revealed that his go-to karaoke song is “Hold My Hand” by Hootie and the Blowfish, according to the Oklahoma State Athletics website.
Quotable: “He’s reliable at shortstop, and it’s plus range. … What you’re focusing on here if you’re the Nationals is that he sticks at shortstop, and you can get a little more out of him at the plate.” -- Callis
