Kevin Brown, born on March 14, 1965, is a former American professional baseball player who made a name for himself as a skilled righthanded pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB). With a career spanning from 1986 to 2005, Brown played for several teams, including the Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles, Florida Marlins, San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Dodgers, and New York Yankees.
Brown attended Wilkinson County High School in Irwinton, Georgia, where he excelled in football, baseball, and tennis. He later played college baseball at Georgia Tech, where he spent three years honing his skills.
The Texas Rangers selected Brown in the first round of the 1986 MLB draft, with the fourth overall pick. Brown quickly proved himself as a valuable asset to the team, posting a 12-9 record with a 3.35 ERA and 104 strikeouts in 1989. He continued to improve, earning a 12-10 record with a 3.60 ERA and 88 strikeouts in 1990.
After the strike settlement in 1994, Brown became a free agent and signed with the Baltimore Orioles for a season. During his time with the Orioles, he posted a 10-9 record with 117 strikeouts and a 3.60 ERA.
In 1995, Brown signed with the Florida Marlins for three years, earning $12.9 million. In his first season with the Marlins, Brown achieved a remarkable 17-11 record with 159 strikeouts and an MLB-best 1.89 ERA, finishing second in the Cy Young Award voting.
In 1997, Brown threw a one-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his first appearance and a no-hitter against the San Francisco Giants on June 10, 1997. This impressive performance earned him a spot as a six-time MLB All-Star.
Throughout his 19-year career, Brown led the American League in wins once and led the National League in earned run average twice. He retired with a 211-144 record, a 3.28 ERA, and 2,397 strikeouts.
