Bobby Brown

Field Manager & Director of Baseball Operations

  • Biography

    Bobby Brown was named Manager of the Ottawa Titans on October 20, 2021. Since taking the helm, he has guided the club to multiple playoff appearances (2022, 2024)—the most by one skipper in the modern era of Ottawa professional baseball.


    Brown began his coaching career at Allan Hancock College in 2007 before earning his first managerial position in 2010 with the Las Cruces Vaqueros of the Continental Baseball League.


    Following a brief stint in the North American League with the Abilene Prairie Dogs, Brown moved to the American Association, where he spent nearly a decade. He managed the Amarillo Sox (2013–2014), the Amarillo Thunderheads (2015), and the Lincoln Saltdogs (2016–2019). In 2017, he was named American Association Manager of the Year after leading the Saltdogs to a 58–40 record and a Central Division title—their first since 2014.


    After four seasons in Lincoln, the San Luis Obispo, California native stepped away from the Saltdogs following the 2019 campaign. He later joined the Frontier League’s Gateway Grizzlies as Director of Baseball Operations and Hitting Coach, though the 2020 season was ultimately canceled due to the pandemic.


    In 2021, Brown served as the Hitting Coach for the Missoula PaddleHeads of the Pioneer League. With his support, the PaddleHeads posted a league-best 66–32 record and captured the Pioneer League Championship. Their .673 winning percentage was the highest across all of professional baseball that season.


    As a player, Brown starred as an outfielder at the University of Oklahoma, hitting .362 in 1995 and helping lead the Sooners to the College World Series. That same year, he began his professional career with the Frontier League’s Springfield Capitals before having his contract purchased by the Kansas City Royals organization.


    Brown played professionally from 1998 to 2005, suiting up for seven different teams and finishing his career with a .301 batting average, 368 RBIs, and 623 games played.


    He’s no stranger to Canadian baseball, having played for the Northern League’s Winnipeg Goldeyes (2000–2002) and the Canadian Baseball League’s Saskatoon Legends (2003).


    In the off-season, Brown resides in Nipomo, California, and is a key contributor to the California Winter League, the Frontier League's Official Winter League.
