Ben Brown is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 11 (2024). Target Brown as a starting pitcher free agent waiver wire add for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Ben Brown makes his seventh start of the season for Chicago today as they take on the Cincinnati Reds. Brown has bounced back and forth between the rotation and bullpen, but his last two starts have been so impressive (16 strikeouts across 11 innings) that Chicago has decided to keep him in the rotation for now.
Brown's last outing, in particular, was a masterpiece as he went seven scoreless innings against the Brewers while striking out ten.
Ben Brown's Knuckle Curve is the most valuable curveball in baseball
It has returned a Run Value of 9 while no other curveball has a Run Value greater than 5

He's only throwing two pitches, but pairing a 97 mph fastball with a devastating curveball that has hitters flailing at it. The batted ball data on Brown suggests that he is likely in some regression in ERA, however, his elite 29.9% K% makes him a very appealing add.
We don't know if hitters will figure him out eventually, but for right now, the rookie is pitching incredibly well and is certainly worth a speculative add in all formats.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
