Cubs Pitcher Ben Brown’s Resilience and Relentlessness Aid in His Recovery | On Deck
Drafted in the 13th round by the Philidelphia Phillies, Ben Brown’s journey to the Cubs started when he was acquired for David Robertson at the trade deadline of the 2022 season. Upon his arrival, he quickly ascended the ranks within the Cubs farm system. Ben made his MLB debut on March 30, 2024, and is projected to return to the mound during the 2025 season.

Stopping people from saying first
Go Ben🎉
so exited for the future!
He should be the closer
Sign Trevor Bauer for the league minimum. Cause you will get a dependable starting pitcher.
Hope Ben stays healthy all season.🙏🏻 I enjoyed watching him this past season before he ended on the IL.
He's gonna be the cubs ace for a long time!! 25 is his year!!
Lets go Ben , need you to be a bulldog this year.
Love BB though I am also not giving up on Caleb Kilian. He's still legit.
hope he is healthy
What does that even mean, "stress reaction" in his neck?
Let It Rip 🔥🔥🔥 ⚾️
Very sharp move by Jed at the trafe deadline.Picked up a strong arm from the Phillies and he could look good in any role. Hope he is healthy next year
Heal up, Ben. Cub fans want to watch you let it rip, almost as badly as you do!
All this talk of needing to sign another starting pitcher, and we have several young arms like Brown waiting to breakout. Let the kids have at it for the fifth and 6/7 (long relief roles). Sign another bullpen guy that is impact in the late innings.

I can't wait to see what's next.
The confidence OOOOOZES out of Ben Brown at such a young age and is fearless on that mound. Not scared to throw pitches and with experience look out man. Sky is the limit. I really hope he ends up a starter down the line. Just gotta stay healthy and it’ll all fall into place.
Best of luck Ben
He looked good as a starter – he has the gas to be a closer – Bad Bad Benny Brown
