Notes
	By the end of 2024, it seemed Hunter Brown had unlocked his potential; in 2025, the door came flying open. The 26-year-old started 31 games, throwing 185 1/3 innings with a 2.43 ERA and 206 strikeouts. He increased his strikeout rate to 28.3% and lowered his walk rate to 7.8% to provide fantasy managers with an excellent WHIP of 1.03. Brown did benefit from some luck with a .262 BABIP, leading to an 82% LOB rate and an xERA of 3.17. Even with these small corrections, fantasy managers should view Brown as a bona fide SP1 heading into the 2026 season. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
