Biographical Information

Pitcher Ben Brown was born on 9/9/99. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 33rd round of the 2017 amateur draft but it was with the Chicago Cubs that he made his major league debut a couple of days into the 2024 season, pitching in relief in an 11-2 loss to the Texas Rangers. His maiden outing did not go particularly well as in 1 2/3 inning, he gave up 6 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks, including a two-run homer by Josh Jung. He had moved from the Phillies to the Cubbies on August 2, 2022 in return for major league reliever David Robertson. He was named the South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Year that season after going 3-5, 3.08 with 105 strikeouts in 73 innings for the Jersey Shore BlueClaws that season.
