LEFTIES: Brown is Houston strong
âAfter Harvey cleared out we went with our coaching staff and spread out and helped pick up debris, helped people clean out their houses. It was nice to give back,â Brown said.
School resumed a week after the storm and Brown settled down, earning good grades (a GPA above 3.0), but hit just .135 in 22 games (eight starts) at first base for Houston, which wrapped its season with an NCAA Regional appearance.
âI didnât have a really good freshman year, but I would say going from high school ball to division one, even coming from an elite high school, I would say it was a big adjustment and a big learning experience,â Brown said.
âFrom high school to college baseball the game speeds up a lot and everyone out there pretty much is a dude.â
Despite those initial struggles, Brown himself is âa dude.â
Blessed with size and power at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, baseballs are beginning to fly off Brownâs bat with regularity this summer.
Brown hit home runs in back-to-back games last week at home against Kelowna and crushed two home runs in back-to-back contests during Port Angelesâ most recent road trip at Cowlitz.
Been awhile since I updated stats. Been a little busy, but Iâll update the summer league players next weekend.

- Slaughter and Sundgren were released from their teams
- Champion was added to Healdsburg
- Found Lester on Brazos Valley (@srassen7 has mentioned that heâs no longer with UH)

Hope this helps him improve for the coming season. Would be nice to add some more pop to the lineup.
