Over the past year, Hunter Brown has drastically improved his performance in Major League Baseball. Initially struggling, he faced potential relegation due to his poor start, allowing 26 runs in 23 innings by late April. However, after a strong relief outing in May, where he struck out seven and gave up just one run, Brown found his rhythm. He delivered eight consecutive quality starts and allowed more than three runs only three times in his final 22 appearances, illustrating a remarkable turnaround in his second half of the season.
The last time that Hunter Brown was tagged on MLBTR's pages was almost one year ago. Brown had just thrown a five-inning relief appearance after Cristian Javier failed to advance past the second inning. Houston had been running a six-man rotation and was potentially considering dropping Brown to the bullpen or to Triple-A, as he'd allowed 26 runs over 23 innings through the end of April.
Brown struck out seven while allowing just one run in that May 11 relief outing. His return to the rotation six days later didn't go well, as he gave up four runs in five innings against Milwaukee. After that, Brown reeled off eight consecutive quality starts.
He allowed more than three runs in just three of his final 22 appearances. He'd made it through six innings in just one of his first eight starts. He failed to complete six innings only three times from the middle of May onwards.
