Former Redan High School baseball star Dominic Brown, 21, was named to the Florida State League All-Star team, but had to sit out the June 20 all-star game in Fort Myers, Fla., because of an injury.

Brown, a 6-foot-6, 204-pound outfielder for the minor-league Class A Clearwater Threshers, was batting .299 with nine home runs, 38 RBIs and 14 stolen bases before he was hit by a pitch on June 8 that broke his right hand.

Brown, a 2006 Redan graduate, was named the Philadelphia Phillies’ top prospect coming into this season by Baseball America.

The Phillies drafted Brown in the MLB draft a few weeks after he graduated from high school and he has climbed a minor league level each season.

Last season with the Lakewood (N.J.) BlueClaws, a low Class-A club, Brown batted .291 with nine homers, 54 RBIs and 22 stolen bases.
