While it's not an SEC arm, the Red Sox stay in the college pitcher demographic to select Dylan Brown out of Old Dominion. Brown ranked 226th on Baseball America's draft board following an impressive season for the Monarchs. The 21-year-old lefty delivered 82 innings across 15 starts this year with a 4.06 ERA while striking out 102. 

This could be the Red Sox's 2025 version of Payton Tolle a year ago. Brown is a big lefty, standing in at 6'5" and 230 pounds, and features a delivery and release traits similar to Tolle's. It's a three pitch-mix right now. He throws a low-90s fastball that is dependent on location, but Brown is another pitcher with above-average command, so he utilizes it well. It will be interesting to see the Red Sox's plan with that pitch. His slider is his best pitch, and is very similar to Patton's, so there might be a trend in what they're looking for in secondaries this year. The changeup has also produced excellent results and should be a go-to offering against right-handed hitters at the next level.
