Ian Brown named MWC Baseball Position Player of the Week

Following several astounding performances, Grinnell College’s Ian Brown ’25 has been named Midwest Conference Baseball Position Player of the Week.

Brown, a first baseman from Darien, Conn. (Greens Farms Academy), had not one, but two, walk off home runs for the Pioneers as they went 4-1 in the last week. His three-run shot against Cornell College in the bottom of the seventh inning finished off the Pioneers’ 16-6 mercy rule victory, and yet another three-run homer in the eighth inning three days later concluded the Pioneers’ 22-11 win over Monmouth College.

Brown completed his homer trifecta for the week the next day with one more three-run shot in a 20-9 win over Monmouth. For the week, he hit .611 by going 11-of-18 with 13 RBIs, nine runs scored and two doubles while posting a slugging percentage of 1.222. Grinnell put up 71 runs over the five-game span.

Ian is the son of Sean and Delphine (Knight) Brown of Huletts Landing.
