Active from 1986 to 2005, Kevin Brown was one of the most feared and intense pitchers of his era, known for a “heavy” sinker that induced endless ground balls and broken bats. In 1998, he signed a 7-year, $105 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, becoming the first player in MLB history to sign a $100 million deal.
Brown was the ace of the 1997 Florida Marlins team that won the World Series. He also led the San Diego Padres to the World Series the very next year (1998).
Brown was famous for his high-velocity sinker ($91–$96 mph) and a devastating slider. While his career stats are Hall of Fame-caliber, his legacy is somewhat complicated by his inclusion in the Mitchell Report and a reputation for having a volatile, ultra-competitive clubhouse personality.
Since retiring, the pitcher Kevin Brown has largely stayed out of the public eye, though he has spent time helping coach his sons.
