Why it's time to add Ben Brown

Ben Brown just had what we believe to be a breakout game on Tuesday, May 28 and he is going to be a stud for the rest of the year, and we have the proof to show for it. These reasons are going to show why you need to add Ben Brown to your roster as soon as possible. 

During Browns masterclass of a performance on Tuesday, he had 30 fantasy points. To get there though, he had to have seven hitless innings pitched while throwing 10 strikeouts and only two walks. Brown really flashed signs of potential for the rest of the season in this game, where he can be a huge piece of this stacked Cubs starting rotation. It is a big if, but if Brown can keep piecing together games like this then he can be a great fantasy pitcher this season. 

Brown could probably be the second or third best pitcher in most starting rotations, but he is in arguably the best rotation in baseball. His starting rotation includes their ace Shota Imanaga, and other great pitchers in Justin Steele and Javier Assad. This puts Brown fourth in the starting rotation, while also competing with Kyle Hendriks and Jameson Tailon for starts. Having some of Browns performances with all of this going on is why we predict that he will be great.

Finally, what pitchers we would pick Ben Brown over for the rest of the season. We will be naming only the notable pitchers that we would select Brown over, so let's get into it. Justin Steele, Yu Darvish, Freddy Peralta, Jared Jones, Jose Berrios, Tyler Anderson, Nestor Cortes, Jordan Hicks, Logan Webb, Trevor Williams, Craig Kimbrel, and Garrett Crochet. Ben Brown at just his young age of 24, has shown that he can be better than all those pitchers named, and only being rostered in 7.7% of leagues, it's an easy pickup for your team.
