Domonic Larun Brown (born September 3, 1987), is an American professional baseball outfielder, who plays for the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos of the Mexican League. He made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2010, after being named the Phillies\' top prospect in 2009 and the top prospect in all of MLB, in 2010 by Baseball America.\n', '

Brown was selected by the Phillies in the 20th round of the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft out of Redan High School in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Since he moved to the Atlanta area from Pasco High School in Dade City, Florida, Brown had "fallen off some teams\' radars" prior to the draft. He participated in a private batting session with Phillies representatives at a local park, and after making one adjustment to his swing, scouting director Marti Wolever "\'couldn\'t believe what [they] were seeing\'". Brown planned to attend the University of Miami to play wide receiver for the Hurricanes, but the Phillies offered him a $200,000 signing bonus to choose baseball instead.\n', '

After the draft, Brown was assigned to the Phillies\' Gulf Coast League (GCL) affiliate, where he batted .214 and collected one home run, seven runs batted in (RBI), and thirteen stolen bases—which tied him for the team lead with Adrian Cardenas—during the 2006 season. For 2007, he earned a promotion to the Williamsport Crosscutters of the New York – Penn League. He played in 74 games with Williamsport, batting in 39 runs and collecting 21 extra-base hits. His 27 walks were second on the team, and his .295 batting average was the team\'s best among players with more than 10 appearances. On defense, he played in the most games for the team in both center field and right field. His performance allowed him a late promotion to the advanced-A Clearwater Threshers, where he batted .444 with one home run and seven RBI in eleven plate appearances.\n', '
