I love this game."[9]
Brown made his professional debut in 2021 with the Arizona Complex League Giants. He batted .354(9th in the league)/.480(2nd)/.620(5th) in 79 at bats with 24 runs, four triples (4th), two home runs, 14 RBIs, eight steals in nine attempts, and 12 hit by pitch (leading the league).[20] He played 20 games in center field, five in right field, and one in left field.[20]
He started 2022 with the San Jose Giants before being promoted to the Eugene Emeralds.[21] With San Jose, Brown led the league with a .636 slugging percentage and batted .347 (3rd in the league) with a .428 on-base percentage (9th), five triples (7th), and 23 steals in 26 attempts in 228 at bats.[20] With Eugene, he led the league with a .350 batting average, .454 on-base percentage, and .612 slugging percentage in 157 at bats, was 9th with 11 hit by pitch, was 8th with four sacrifice flies, and had 21 steals in 24 attempts.[20]
In 2022, Brown's .346 batting average and 1.060 on-base percentage plus slugging percentage (OPS) led all qualified hitters in the minor leagues, his .623 slugging percentage was the 3rd-highest in the minors, and his .437 on-base percentage was the 6th-highest.[22][23] Between San Jose, Eugene, and the AA Richmond Flying Squirrels he was .346/.437/.623 in 387 at bats with 100 runs, 7 triples, 23 home runs, 75 RBIs, 44 stolen bases in 50 attempts, and 19 hit by pitch.[20] Only four other minor league players had passed 20 home runs, 20 stolen bases, a .300 average, .400 on-base percentage, and a .600 slugging percentage in a single season since 2006.[19] He played 43 games in left field, 28 in right field, 16 as a designated hitter, and 15 in center field.[20] He was named an MiLB Organization All Star.[10] Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic wrote: "He is as tooled up and athletic as any player the Giants have had in their system — not just this season, but in a generation. He burns up the basepaths. He has an above-average arm.... He handles high-velocity fastballs. He'll turn around a first-pitch breaking ball. He can hit for power to all fields, and because of his speed, almost anything in play has the potential to be an extra-base hit. He isn't just fast. He's hungry fast. From the instant he takes off, he's got the forward body lean of a sprinter stretching for the tape. He has been timed at 3.8 seconds home to first, which is exceptional for a left-handed hitter and elite for someone breaking out of the right-handed batter's box, like Brown."[9]
