Hunter Brown's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown continued his string of strong starts in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rockies. Brown pitched six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts. The 25-year-old had a poor start to the season, but he has now turned in seven consecutive quality starts. His overall record sits at 5-5 with a 4.37 ERA, a 9.97 K/9 rate, and a 3.59 BB/9 rate in 15 starts and 80 1/3 IP. His recent performance is encouraging for fantasy managers, as are his 3.44 xERA and 3.64 SIERA. Brown should have a chance to further extend his streak in his next start, which will be at the slumping Blue Jays.

Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown was excellent in a 4-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. Brown allowed just one run on seven hits over six innings while striking out six and walking none. The only damage off Brown came via a Andrew Benintendi solo homer in the fourth inning. Brown improved his record to 4-5 with the win, to go along with a 4.72 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts over 74 1/3 innings of work. The 25-year-old is best used as a matchup play against weaker offenses moving forward.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown tossed six shutout frames on Saturday evening against the Los Angeles Angels. He struck out seven and allowed just two hits and four walks. Brown is looking quite sharp as of late and is putting his rough April, where he posted an 11.84 ERA behind him. Since May 1, the 25-year-old has held a 3.05 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 15:43 BB:K ratio but still has an overall inflated 5.58 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. Brown is currently scheduled to face the Detroit Tigers next week in what could be another opportunity for Brown to keep his momentum rolling.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown put together a very strong performance against the division rival Seattle Mariners in a no-decision on Tuesday evening. Brown made it through six frames of one-run ball and allowed four hits with no walks and nine strikeouts. The nine K's would be a career-high for the 25-year-old. Brown entered the season with breakout potential, but got hit very hard early in the season, including a nine-run outing in his third start of the season that lasted 2/3 of an inning. It was enough for many managers to cut bait with right-hander, but he was steadily improved since. In the month of May, Brown made five appearances (four starts) and pitched to a 3.42 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. He also allowed two or fewer runs in four of his five outings. Brown's terrible outing early the season sunk his value, but wise managers should consider scooping him as his month of May is more evident of the pitcher he can be the rest of the way. Next up for Brown will be a date at home versus the Minnesota Twins.

Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown will start a game against the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend, according to manager Joe Espada. The Astros are officially moving to a six-man starting rotation. Brown is most likely to start the series opener against Milwaukee on Friday, but fantasy managers in most leagues are going to want to avoid him after he has opened the 2024 season by going 0-4 with a 7.79 ERA (5.08 FIP) and 2.01 WHIP with 18 walks and 36 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings over eight appearances (seven starts). Brown looked better in a long-relief role over the weekend for the Astros, so hopefully he can carry that momentum over to his eighth start of the season. If Brown struggles again this weekend against the Brew Crew, he could find himself right back in the bullpen.
