Career

Brown was drafted in the second round of the 1980 MLB draft, the 48th pick overall out of Clemson University. He batted and threw right-handed.

Brown reached the MLB in 1982 with the Boston Red Sox, playing in part of five seasons with them before moving to the Seattle Mariners in the same transaction that brought Dave Henderson and Spike Owen to Boston. His most productive season came in 1983 with the Red Sox, when he recorded career best in wins (6), earned run average (4.67), starts (18), complete games (3) and innings pitched (104). In August 1986, Brown (along with Rey Quiñones, Mike Trujillo, and a player to named later) was traded to the Seattle Mariners. The Red Sox obtained Spike Owen and Dave Henderson.[1] In a six-season career, Brown posted a 12-20 record with 115 strikeouts and a 5.75 ERA in 253-2/3 innings.

Following his retirement, Brown worked with the Cleveland Indians as their minor league pitching coordinator from 1995 to 2001, and as their MLB pitching coach in 2002. After that, he served as pitching coach in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).

As of 2013, Brown was a professional scout, based in Naples, Florida, for the Arizona Diamondbacks of the MLB.

gollark: Anyway, science is basically just a way to find out things about the world, and theoretically (this is somewhat broken a lot of the time, honestly) can have incorrect stuff noticed and corrected. Religion goes "LALALALALA I'M RIGHT I'M RIGHT" and then if this ever comes into conflict with the world, says the world's wrong or calls it a metaphor or something.
