Seth Brown News
Oakland Athletics first baseman Seth Brown led the way offensively to a 5-4 win over the Texas Rangers Friday, going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, his 12th long ball of the season. While Brown has not been particularly impressive with a .702 OPS in 314 plate appearances this season, he has added seven stolen bases to those 12 home runs, giving him some value as a compiler in deep fantasy formats. His last stolen base came on June 23 though, so it's possible he won't improve much on his current total.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown is currently slumping extremely hard. So far in 2022, Brown is slashing just .204/.276/.401 with a weighted runs created plus (wRC+) of 97 (Major League Baseball average is 100) over 163 plate appearances. While Brown does have a career-high hard-hit rate of 41.2%, Brown also ranks in the 41st percentile in chase rate, leading to 41 strikeouts. For Brown to maintain his starting job with the rebuilding Athletics, the 29-year-old will need to do a better job staying disciplined at the plate. Brown is 3-for-17 with no home runs over the last week, so you can survive with Brown on your bench against Jose Urquidy and the Astros on Friday.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown is in the team's starting lineup for a Wednesday matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Corey Kluber. Brown is batting .176 with a .260 on-base percentage, two home runs, and a stolen base in 77 plate appearances so far. The 29-year-old is hitting fifth against Kluber and the Rays and starting at first base. Fantasy managers looking for streaming help in the outfield or at first base are probably better off looking elsewhere.

After hitting 20 homers in 111 games for Oakland in 2021, Seth Brown found himself a regular starter for the A's in 2022 and made the most of it. In 150 games, Brown hit .230/.305/.444 with 25 homers, 73 RBI, 55 runs and 11 steals. The stolen bases were a nice surprise after Brown only tallied five in his previous 144 games but he did rank in the 63rd percentile for sprint speed (27.9 ft/s) and his 9.2% BB% (63rd percentile) affords him more opportunities than you might expect from a .230 hitter. After only being caught stealing twice last year, there's no reason Brown couldn't reach double-digit steals again in 2023. And his power certainly seems legit, with a 13.0% Barrel% (90th percentile), .454 xSLG (81st percentile) and 24.4 xHR last year all making a repeat look feasible. The downside is Brown plays for the A's so RBI and runs will be suppressed and a trade to a better team might lead to less playing time given his struggles against left-handed pitching (LHP). Last year, Brown hit .174/.232/.315 against LHP, with just three of his homers coming against them. Brown's ADP of ~204 certainly leaves room to provide value as a solid power with some speed especially in leagues using OBP instead of AVG.
