2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Three hits, double in win
Brown went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Brown looks to be heating up at the plate while slowly working his way back into an everyday role. He's now doubled in three straight games following an 0-for-16 slump. Overall, the 30-year-old Brown is slashing .200/.281/.375 with three homers, 10 RBI and two stolen bases through 89 plate appearances this season.

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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Brown was finally given an extended look at the big-league level in 2021, logging 307 plate appearances while appearing at all three outfield field positions and first base. Outside of going deep at an impressive 14.1 AB/HR clip, the 29-year-old's output was largely underwhelming. He struck out 29% of the time while posting a disappointing 7.5% walk rate en route to slashing .214/.274/.280. There are some reasons to be optimistic about his offensive upside going forward, however. His .230 BABIP in 2021 strongly points to some positive regression in the batting average department going forward, and if he's able to continue to drive the ball out of the park at a high rate, it's not crazy to envision him becoming an above average offensive player. His struggles against southpaws will likely prevent him from capturing an everyday role, but Brown shouldn't have trouble finding consistent at-bats against right-hander's to begin 2022.
