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.

Productive showing in finale
Brown went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Brown posted the only multi-hit effort of the afternoon for the Athletics in the season finale, his first performance with a pair of knocks since Sept. 6. The productive afternoon prevented him from heading into the offseason mired in a slump, as he'd gone just 2-for-24 over the prior seven games. The 2024 campaign was essentially a tale of two seasons for Brown -- he earned himself a mid-June outright assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas by posting a .189 average, .557 OPS and 33.8 percent strikeout rate over his first 63 games, but he generated a .271 average and .760 OPS across 61 games upon returning shortly before the All-Star break, striking out at a more modest 22.4 percent clip in the process.

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

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Offseason move incoming?
The Athletics could look to move on from Brown during the offseason, reports Jason Burke of SI.com.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old was productive in his first two full big-league seasons in 2021 and 2022 with a .751 OPS, but he's underwhelmed at the plate the past two years with a .676 OPS. Brown was removed from the Athletics' 40-man roster in June before getting the call back to the majors a month later, but it's unclear if his .271/.312/.448 slash line after being called back up will be enough for him to retain his place on the 40-man roster through the offseason.
