Hunter Brown News
Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown logged 10 strikeouts to beat Oakland 5-2 Friday. Brown had on-point accuracy, with 61 of his 88 pitches finding the strike zone. In addition, he had excellent control issuing only one walk throughout the game. The hurler allowed just four hits in the contest and improved his season record to 5-1 to go along with a 3.12 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 66 strikeouts. Looking ahead, Brown is scheduled next to pitch against Minnesota on Wednesday.
Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown was left with a no-decision despite the team's 3-2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. The 24-year-old struck out nine hitters, a career-best, and permitted a lone earned run across his six innings of work. The rookie has been up and down during his second campaign in the majors after attaining an otherworldly 0.89 ERA across 20 1/3 innings in 2022. Brown's spot in the rotation should be safe, though, with Luis Garcia (elbow) out for the season, bolstering Brown's rest-of-season fantasy outlook. The hard-throwing righty will carry a solid 3.20 ERA into his next scheduled start on Friday when he gets the fortune of facing these Athletics once again.
Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown is taking the hill for Friday's contest against Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves. The 24-year-old is in his second campaign as a big leaguer after throwing just over 20 innings in 2022. Through three starts, Brown's posted a 1.93 ERA with 17 strikeouts and a 1.02 WHIP with two victories across 18.2 innings. He was the Astros top prospect a season ago, and it seems like he's already adjusted to Major League hitters. Brown is a must-roster in dynasty leagues and redraft formats.

A decade ago, the Houston Astros began a rebuild with early draft picks that brought in high-profile talent. The organization has had to rely on developing players from later in the draft since becoming a perennial contender. Hunter Brown was a fifth-round pick in 2019 out of Wayne State University in Michigan that came back after the missed 2020 season with a vengeance, making short work of Houston's upper-level clubs. He dominated in Triple-A to open the 2022 season before getting a late call to the majors for the stretch run, and he showed that he would be ready to join the rotation when Justin Verlander left in free agency. Brown utilized a fastball that averaged 97 MPH to head a five-pitch mix. Brown's low-90s slider and low-80s curve help him reduce weak contact. While it was a 20-inning sample, the righty could hold hitters to a below-average barrel rate and a significantly lower launch angle than the league average. The Astros may employ a six-man rotation to manage innings among their starting rotation. Still, there's plenty of injury risk among their front five, and Brown will be ready to take one of the starting roles with one of the best offenses in baseball to support him in putting up substantial fantasy numbers. ATC projects Brown with a 3.45 ERA, 3.49 FIP, and a 9.44 K:9 across 102 innings in 2023. The Astros right-hander is a high-upside pick at his current NFBC ADP of 259.
