Landon Brown, 3B/RHP
6-foot-2, 210 pounds
2025 Signature Event: Main Event
Named a co-captain for the upcoming Main Event, Brown was a no-brainer to invite for his second straight trip to Globe Life. The Mississippi State commit turned it on during the National Combine, hitting one of just two homers at the plate, and touching 93 on the mound in an inning of work.
As was the case last year, you’ll likely see Brown on both sides of the ball in October.
