Eligibility
Ben Brown dazzled against the Brewers, throwing seven no-hit innings, walking two, and striking out ten in the Cubs' 6-3 victory on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
With a 2.72 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP over 46 1/3 innings, Brown is proving to be a reliable asset in fantasy rotations, especially considering his high strikeout rate of 10.7 K/9. This brilliant performance should reassure fantasy managers of his potential. Brown's ability to maintain a low BABIP (.275) and a strong FIP (2.54) indicates that his success is backed by solid underlying metrics.
Ben Brown delivered a solid performance, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out six over four innings in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his commendable effort, Brown's outing was overshadowed by a lack of run support and ability to work deep into the game, leaving him without a decision. His season ERA now stands at an impressive 3.20, with a WHIP of 1.19 and a K/9 of 10.3. Brown's ability to maintain a high strikeout rate and a low ERA is promising for fantasy managers, though his win potential may be hampered by the Cubs' offensive struggles. His performance today reinforces his status as a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of strikeouts and quality starts.
Ben Brown had a rough outing allowing two earned runs on three hits and five walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
His inability to limit walks significantly hampered his performance, leading to an early exit after just 89 pitches. This season, Brown's ERA slightly worsened to 4.23, and his WHIP increased to 1.27, reflecting ongoing struggles with command. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.8 K/9, his elevated walk rate is a concerning trend for fantasy managers. Brown's high FIP of 3.32 suggests some bad luck, but his control issues need to be addressed to improve his fantasy viability.
Ben Brown is scheduled to start Thursday for the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Brown will draw the start against the Mets with Kyle Hendricks (back) on the 15-day IL. The 24-year-old has a 4.30 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP in seven games this season.
Ben Brown was roughed up, allowing three earned runs on seven hits while striking out four over 3 2/3 innings in Saturday's 17-0 loss to the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
This outing inflated his ERA to 4.30 and WHIP to 1.17 for the season, which might raise eyebrows among fantasy managers. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.6 K/9 and a solid 3.26 FIP, Brown's performance today could be a red flag for those relying on him for consistent fantasy points. His inability to limit hits today, evidenced by a .306 BABIP, suggests potential volatility in his starts. Fantasy managers should monitor his next outings closely, as another shaky performance could hint at a trend rather than a blip.
