Dusty Brown | SoxProspects.com


		Born: June 19, 1982 Orange, CA Height: 6-0 Weight: 180 Bats: Right Throws: Right Drafted: 35th Round, 2000 How Acquired: Draft College: Yavapai Community College High School: Bradshaw Mountain (AZ) Photo © Kelly O'Connor	Signed with Pittsburgh (Dec. 2010) Scouting Report: Brown is an excellent defensive catcher with an exceptionally strong arm. Works well with the pitchers and calls a solid game. Decent bat, gap power and average-to-above-average plate discipline. Somewhat of a streaky hitter. Well built, strong lower body. Athletic for a catcher, but still not going to be a threat on the base paths. Tough as nails. Brown has the makings of a great backup catcher at the MLB level and, if he can keep improving with the bat, might even get a chance to start at some point. Links Q&A with Dusty Brown
