"Brown became the position player in the league with arguably the most superstar potential. Brown is an excellent athlete with a 6-foot-5, 204-pound frame that screams projection. He has terrific bat speed, good feel for the strike zone, a solid two-strike approach and projectable power that is beginning to manifest itself in games. Despite his lofty numbers in the regular season, parts of Brown's game remain green as he grows into his coordination. With above-average speed and a 70 arm on the 20-80 scouting scale, Brown has the tools to be a plus defender, but his routes and instincts still need work."

"He's a superb athlete who can run and throw and has some raw power. That said, he's still pretty crude, succeeding on the basis of his ridiculous athletic ability. His reads in right field are really poor, although he's fast enough to catch up to balls he misreads off the bat, and while he has arm strength, his throwing motion needs work. He also leaks badly at the plate, but again, he's got the bat speed to compensate. He's still one of the top 20 or so prospects in the minors, but he still needs some polishing before he's ready to race to the majors."

"Brown is at least in the discussion with Heyward and Stanton because there really isn't any huge flaw to his game. He can hit, now he's showing he can hit for power, he can run well for a big man and he's an excellent right fielder. Add it all up and you're talking about a franchise cornerstone."

"I just don't see what's not to like about Brown. He's got five tools that mostly rate as 60s or 70s, either now or in the future, with advanced pitch recognition, and he's performed well this year. I like [fellow Phillies outfield prospect Michael] Taylor too, but Brown just looks like a high upside talent with lower risk involved than you normally get with five-tool players."
