Drastically improves contact rate Brown sports a .324 average and 1.024 OPS across the 40 plate appearances covering his last 13 games, a stretch during which he's sporting a modest 15.0 percent strikeout rate. Impact It's certainly not the most sizable sample, but Brown's late-season offensive improvement comes at a good time for fantasy managers and is encouraging under any standard. The 31-year-old's current hot stretch was extended with a 2-for-4, two-RBI night Tuesday against the Astros, one in which Brown laced his seventh and eighth extra-base hits (two doubles) in the 13-game span. However, Brown's significantly improved contact rate is just as eye-catching, as he'd generated a 28.5 percent figure across his first 85 games of the season.
