Phillies: What happened to All-Star Domonic Brown?

By bryce turner | apr 18, 2020.

Following a long journey through the minors, the former Philadelphia Phillies All-Star is back in the city where his major league career took place.

The major league career of former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Domonic Brown may have been short, but at least there was one season where it was sweet.

The Zephyrhills, FL native was drafted in 2006 by the Phillies , making his MLB debut in 2010 and playing all 493 of his career major league games with Philadelphia.

Brown was as big of a prospect there could be for the Phillies, and the excitement was at an all-time high. Fans begged the front office not to trade him with the hopes he could be the young superstar who could keep the greatest run in franchise history alive.

Brown split time between AA Reading, AAA Lehigh Valley and the majors in 2010, before splitting time between AAA and the MLB during the following two seasons.

In 2012 with Lehigh Valley, he batted .286/.335/.432 with five home runs and 28 RBI in 60 games. His MLB stats were similar, spare the averages, batting .235/.316/.396 with five home runs and 26 RBI in 56 games.

With roster changes that saw outfielders Juan Pierre, Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence depart Philadelphia, it was Brown who became the starting left fielder for 2013 .

Following that largely unimpressive 2012 season, Brown had a career year in 2013. He ended the season with 27 HR, 83 RBI and a .272/.324/.494 slash line in 139 games, getting the nod to compete in his only All-Star Game, where he was struck out by Brett Cecil in his lone at-bat.

Brown was one of the top Phillies that season. His 135 hits (tied with Chase Utley ) and 139 games were the second-most on the team, behind Jimmy Rollins , while he led the squad with those 27 HR and 83 RBI. His .818 OPS was third on the team, or second behind Utley if you don’t count pitcher Raúl Valdés ’ three at-bats. He was also second behind Utley with a 3.2 WAR.

Brown’s home and away stats were near equivalents, while his month-by-month was a bit of a roller-coaster.

The start of the regular season through April saw only three home runs, 11 RBI and a .233 BA, but was followed by his best month, with 12 HR, 25 RBI and a .303 BA in May. His home run and RBI numbers decreased in the months that followed, while he improved his batting average in August, .292 compared to .257 in July.

But, the last month of the season was a sign of what was to come. Brown hit only two RBI and no home runs, while recording a .255 BA in his last 17 games of the year. Granted, he did miss time from late August to mid-September due to an Achilles injury.

The outfielder held onto the starting role in 2014 , playing in five more games than the previous year, but seeing a drop in RBI and a dramatic slide in both HR and averages. He finished the season with 10 HR, 63 RBI and a .235/.285/.349 slash line in 144 games.

Brown split 2015 between AAA and the majors, hitting two home runs, 26 RBI and .257/.307/.352 in 52 games for Lehigh Valley, while hitting five home runs, 25 RBI and .228/.284/.349 in 63 games for the Phillies.

The Phillies outrighted Brown from the 40-man roster after the end of the season and he elected to enter free agency, signing a minor-league deal with the Toronto Blue Jays for 2016.

Brown played 126 games for AAA Buffalo that year, recording seven HR, 41 RBI and a .239/.303/.336 slash line. In 2017, 48 games for the Colorado Rockies’ AAA team in Albuquerque, recording three HR, 21 RBI and a .304/.327/.449 slash line.

Despite the better averages, that would be all for Brown’s career in the U.S. He spent the next two seasons in Mexico, including playing 21 games for the Venados de Mazatlán in the Mexican Pacific Winter League’s 2019-20 season. Most recently, he played in seven games for the Águilas Cibaeñas in the Dominican Winter League.

Following his journey out west and to the south, Brown is back in Philadelphia, but without his cleats and jersey.

The 32-year-old now works with Athletes Academy in nearby East Norriton, PA, where he’s helping the next generation.

Brown told CBS Philly that “I’ve seen how the game is changing kids’ lives so I decided to hang ’em up…I got more passion in teaching, bringing kids in here. It’s been a big life-changer.”

While it was a long road in between, the 2013 All-Star now finds himself in a new role in a familiar city.

Former Phillies phenom and flame-out Domonic Brown has found himself, finally | Mike Sielski

He was supposed to be the franchise's next great player. Instead, he rediscovered his love of the game by teaching it.

In one corner of Athletes Academy, a sports-training facility in East Norriton, Domonic Brown was back in a batting cage Tuesday afternoon. Yes, that Domonic Brown. His head and eyes flitted back and forth from Max Hitman — a senior at Archbishop Carroll, a St. Joseph’s University recruit, and Brown’s star pupil — to a computer screen above the cage, to a HitTrax program showing the data of Hitman’s every swing off a batting tee: his bat speed, the ball’s exit velocity, the distance it would have traveled. One of Hitman’s cuts produced a piercing sound, like pipe on pipe, and what would have been a 194-foot line drive to left-center field. “Not bad,” Brown said. In another corner of the facility, Domonic Brown Jr., age 2, kept shooting a little basketball through a little basketball hoop. He couldn’t miss. His dad was supposed to be like that, too.

This is Brown’s new career, new beginning, now that he is 32: here in suburban Philadelphia, years after his flaming fall from nascent greatness to disappointment with the Phillies , as a private hitting instructor. He had been a ballyhooed prospect, billed as the bridge from Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, and Ryan Howard to the next era of Phillies excellence, 6-foot-6 with that liquid, left-handed swing, and he’d had that incredible period in 2013 that made everyone believe stardom was inevitable for him: 12 home runs in May, 11 in a 15-game stretch , 27 for the season, a spot on the National League All-Star team.

He was never so good again. He hit .235 with 10 home runs in 2014, then .228 with five home runs in 2015, injuries and a stint at triple A limiting him to 63 games. The Phillies released him. He ricocheted around pro ball: the Toronto Blue Jays’ and Colorado Rockies’ systems, the Pacific Coast League, four teams in Mexico, one in the Dominican Republic, launching 49 home runs and slugging .485 over the last two years at those lower levels. He rediscovered his swing, just too late.

He moved back to the region last year, with his wife, Stephanie, who is an alumna of Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, and their three children. Looking for a place to hit during the winter, he found Athletes Academy, started offering tips to teenagers once his own sessions in the cage were finished, and decided after a while that he enjoyed teaching enough to retire from playing altogether. The facility’s owner, Cherifa Howarth, was impressed enough to hire him. Every day, he spends hours in the cage, with the kids he coaches and the HitTrax and a black day planner into which he scribbles any thought about hitting that strikes him. He spoke at length Tuesday about everything that led him there. His comments have been edited for clarity.

"I didn’t understand hitting when I was in the majors, and that’s what made me want to teach. I started seeing I had more love for the game because of the downfalls, because of the struggles. Even last year, I was at a field in Laredo, Texas, where you couldn’t hit a ball out to right field, so I had to turn my swing toward center field and left field. All of a sudden, I hit 20 out of my 26 home runs last year to the middle or opposite field, and I’m like, ‘If I did that in the big leagues, I’d still be a Phillie.’ But … life lessons. I love teaching more than I do playing because of the failures.

"The Phillies made me feel like a big leaguer. That was great. I pretty much hit .295, .300 every year in the minors. Hit .279 in Reading in 2009, and I was ticked. A lot of people don’t know that. That’s how hungry I was for success. But I just needed a little more push. For example, 2012 spring training, I’m out early with Juan Samuel, working on some stuff in left field. Still dark out. Dallas Green comes out, walks right past me, says, ‘Thought they said you couldn’t catch any fly balls.’ I’m like, ‘All right. Let’s go. Show you what I can do.’ A lot of that stuff is what drove me in ’13.

"Why did things go so well in that month? Wally Joyner. He was a great teacher for me as the Phillies’ batting coach that season, a big role model in my life to this day. He made me believe, and that’s all that I needed at that time. Be consistent every day. Stay with the drills that worked for me: tee work, front flips, side flips.

"Now I go back to that month: what was clicking, why was it clicking, what angle were you getting to the point of contact. I was using the whole plate and changing the whole field around. Jimmy Rollins showed me his toe-tap, and that helped me out a ton. I was on the fringes then, and I knew it, and it fired me up.

"After the season, Dallas sent me a letter saying congratulations on everything. Looking back on it, Larry Bowa would get me to those stages, too. Charlie Manuel did. But a lot of people couldn’t get that out of me consistently. I blame myself. I needed to be pushed in certain areas.

"Pitchers didn’t catch on to me until the end of that year. Now 2014 comes around, and I know they’re going to come back out here, on the outside of the plate, and I couldn’t make the adjustment. It took me years to get that back.

"Getting sat down was tough. In ‘15, I was beat up physically, and I was beat up mentally, too. I knew from how I was performing that I should have been at triple A. I knew I wasn’t that kind of player, but it was extremely tough knowing I wasn’t getting the results I normally get.

"At 4 years old, I started doing a back handspring. By 7 or 8, I was flipping in the end zone with full pads. By middle school, I was kind of a myth in my area where I grew up. I was throwing the ball super hard. I was running a 4.4 40 in high school. I was 6-foot-5, 6-6. I was playing three sports. The pressure’s always been there. It was just part of the program for me, honestly. That’s how I looked at it. I put more pressure on myself than anybody else just because I knew I was always that guy . The scouts knew I had what it took. My agent Scott Boras knew I had what it took. I knew I had what it took. But I got to the point where I just couldn’t figure it out.

"When I got the phone call that I was going to be put on waivers, I was at my house in South Jersey. Scott Proefrock, the Phillies’ assistant general manager, told me. I put the phone down and was like, ‘No way.’ I knew everybody — the grounds crew, everybody at Citizens Bank Park. I also knew I was supposed to be here for 10 years-plus, so I felt like I let the city down.

"I didn’t understand I was a spoiled brat when it came to the Phillies. I didn’t realize it in a baseball form because I’d never really been spoiled before. My parents always had decent jobs. Living was always OK, but my parents were tough on me. But with the Phillies, I could do no wrong. I’m happy it was that way, but I couldn’t really handle that part. Going through Mexico, going through some tough times, got me right.

"People bring up my career pretty much every time I start working with them. It’s not, ‘What happened?’ Most of the time, it’s like, ‘Hey, I watched you.’ See, that makes me feel good also. I didn’t realize that I still had a huge following here. I didn’t realize people still ask about me.

"Every time we go to the city, somebody’s stopping us, talking to us about the Phillies and all that stuff. If I knew that four years ago, I never would have left. But at the same time, I wouldn’t have gotten any better, either. I still would have been a spoiled kid when it came to baseball.

“Now, I’m at the point where I don’t want any of my guys going to college, going to the next level, and they can’t tell a hitting coach how to position a baseball. They should know their contact point. They should know what angles work for them inside. They should know how to backspin a ball to right-center, not only in batting practice but at 7 o’clock.

"For me now, that’s what I’m trying to do — really understand the game. If I had understood the game more, I would still be there, a hundred percent. I’m in better shape than I have been, even when I played. I know if I had all of this it would be a different story. But it can be a different story for somebody else.”

History of penza oblast.

Mass settlement of the Middle Volga region including the Penza region began about 7-12 thousand years ago. This land was the place where different tribes and peoples came into contact.

In the 9th century, this territory populated by the Mordvinians and Burtases became part of the Khazar Khanate. One of the most important trade routes of the khanate passed through the region.

At the beginning of the 10th century, the Khazar Khanate collapsed, the state of Volga Bulgaria became its successor in the Middle Volga region. In the first third of the 13th century, Volga Bulgaria was invaded by the Mongols. As a result, most of the local population was destroyed.

In 1242, the state known as the Golden Horde emerged on the territory of the Middle and Lower Volga. In 1438, Khan Ulu-Muhammed captured Kazan and created the Kazan Khanate. Later, the Middle Volga region became its part. In 1552, the Kazan Khanate ceased to exist and the Penza region became part of Russia, its south-eastern outskirts.

More historical facts…

This land was often subjected to attacks of the nomads - Nogai and Crimean Tatars. That’s why the region was included in the defense line system that was widely developed in the 16th-17th centuries on the southern and south-eastern outskirts of the Russian state. Construction of fortresses was the beginning of the colonization of the Penza region.

By the second half of the 17th century, the Penza region got the opportunity to maximize the use of favorable geographical factors (the boundary of the forest steppe and the presence of several old roads) to strengthen its position as one of the leading outposts in the south-eastern borders of Russia. The town of Penza was founded in 1663.

In 1708, the territory of the Penza region was divided between the Azov and Kazan provinces. By the end of the 18th century, there were 1,261 settlements in the region, the population was 681,050 people. In 1801, Penza Governorate was restored and lasted until 1928.

In 1939, Tambov Oblast was divided and today’s Penza Oblast was formed. During the Second World War, this region became a major industrial center. During the war, more than 300,000 people were drafted into the Red Army, about 190,000 of them were killed or gone missing.

In the postwar period, such branches of industrial production as machine building, instrument-making, chemical engineering, production of building materials, light and food industries were developed.
