D.J. Brown Signs with Cleveland Indians - NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and Weather

Former Orange County High School star D.J. Brown signed with the Cleveland Indians Friday.

The Indians selected the JMU pitcher in the 39th round of June's Major League Draft (#1193 overall).

Brown missed the entire 2012 season because of a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

He went 13-4 in 37 appearances at Madison, including 9-1 with four saves as a sophomore as the Dukes advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Brown made eight starts as a freshman and eight starts as a sophomore.

Brown earned all-state honors as a first baseman (first team) and pitcher (honorable mention) his senior year at Orange in 2009.

He led OCHS to the state quarterfinals in baseball and basketball.
