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.

Slugs second homer in win
Brown went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Orioles on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Brown opened the scoring on an eventful afternoon for both teams' bats with a 409-foot shot to center in the second inning. The round tripper snapped a 13-game homerless drought for Brown, who has left the yard just twice over 86 plate appearances after averaging a homer once every 21 trips to the batter's box over the previous three seasons.

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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
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.
