#00 Tim Brown - Player Profile

Brown took the American Association by storm in 2009, signing with Lincoln in late June after completing his collegiate career at Division II Pittsburg State in Kansas.  Tim went 1-1 over his first six pro appearances, all in relief, but thrived after moving into the starting rotation.  He posted a 4-0 record and a 2.14 ERA as a starter, walking just five batters in 46.1 innings.  Brown played a pivotal role in Lincoln’s run to the second-half championship, earning the Saltdogs’ 2009 Rookie of the Year award, and was named by Baseball America as the fifth-best prospect in independent baseball.
