9-3-22 - PBR LOUISIANA: 2023 RANKINGS UPDATE

https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/LA/PBR-Louisiana-4058629173?s=03 - 

-2023 LHP/OF Jake Brown (Sulphur HS):  A lot of good things have happened for the Sulphur product over the course of the last twelve months, and for his performance, Brown has moved into the #1 spot in this state rankings update for the 2023 class.  The LSU commit had a stellar spring for the Tors, both on the mound and at the plate.  

Brown hit out of the leadoff spot for Sulphur and finished the year hitting at a .477 clip with 2 HR, 28 RBI, and 40 R.  On the mound, Brown was dominate as well, finishing the spring with a 8-3 record and a 1.73 ERA with 131 strikeouts across 73 innings pitched.  He led Sulphur to a semifinal appearance, was named the District 3-5A MVP, and was also named to our PBR Louisiana All-State Team.  

Brown carried over the success that he had in the spring to the summer season as well.  At the Area Code Games, Brown filled up the zone in two relief innings and was able to command his entire arsenal.  

Operating out of a 3/4 slot, he sat 88-92 mph with his FB (2400 RPM) and his go-to secondary offering was a much improved tight slurve at 80-82 mph.  He also mixed in a low-80's CH as well.  Finally, Brown ended his summer by dominating at the Team USA trials, where he threw 8 innings and gave up 4 hits, 0 earned runs, while tallying 12 strikeouts and only 2 walks, which earned himself a spot on the final roster for Team USA.  

His stock has certainly shot up over the summer, as Brown is now a legitimate draft prospect that area scouts will be watching a lot over the coming months, as we head towards next summer's MLB draft.
