2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brown launched a career-high 25 home runs in 2022 and also surprised with a double-digit stolen base total, but he predictably regressed across the board last season as the Athletics stumbled to a record of 50-112. The 31-year-old has a decent amount of power, enough to ensure him a prominent lineup spot on a perpetually-rebuilding A's team, but he enters the 2024 campaign with a rough .227 career batting average and .295 career on-base percentage in a sample size of nearly 1,400 major-league plate appearances. Brown is a drain in too many fantasy categories to warrant draft-day consideration in any standard mixed league, though he could maybe bounce back into 20-homer territory and offer AL-only appeal. Read Past Outlooks
Three hits in Thursday's win
Brown went 3-for-6 with a double, a stolen base and three runs scored in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Brown didn't get much of a chance to drive in runs Thursday -- the first three batters in the Athletics' order went a combined 2-for-16 with two walks. Brown made up for it by hitting well and serving as the spark to get the Oakland offense going. He also scored the winning run in a frantic 11th-inning comeback. The outfielder's three-hit effort marked his fifth straight game with at least one hit, a stretch that's raised his slash line to .206/.254/.357 for the year. He's added five home runs, three steals, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored over 134 plate appearances. Brown has often found a spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitchers, but there will be a bit more pressure for him to perform with Daz Cameron called up Thursday to add to the Athletics' outfield depth.

Stat Review
How does Seth Brown compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Athletics planning to hold
Athletics general manager David Forst said Monday that the club does not intend to trade Brown this offseason, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown will become a bit more expensive in 2024 as he enters arbitration eligibility, but Oakland apparently has no intention of trading him -- at least not yet. Perhaps it is hoping the 31-year-old will rebuild his value following a down 2023 and the organization can deal him later on down the line. Brown slashed just .222/.286/.405 with 14 homers over 112 games this season.

Brown has proven to be an incredible find as an 18th-round pick out of Lewis-Clark State College in 2015. Granted he's only been 12% better than league average by wRC+ in 294 MLB games to date, but compared to the rest of his A's teammates, he might as well be Barry Bonds. At age 29/30, Brown smacked 25 home runs -- no other Athletic hit more than 18 last season -- and finished with a barrel rate in the 90th percentile. The power comes with a good deal of swing-and-miss though Brown shaved his strikeout rate down to a more palatable 26.3% last season while adding a couple points to his walk rate. A lefty batter, Brown has struggled against same-side pitching in the majors to the tune of a .527 OPS and would likely find himself more strictly platooned on another team. While he swiped 11 bags last season, a repeat of double digits should be considered unlikely given his modest sprint speed.
