MLB Vet Still Playing For Yankees Minor League
With the season well underway, it’s worth noting that a seven-year MLB player is currently on the SWB RailRiders (the Triple-A affiliate of the Yankees).
Seth Brown is batting .239 with 32 hits, eight home runs and 17 RBI’s in 37 games.
@milb_central wrote (on January 26): “The New York Yankees have signed Seth Brown to a minor league contract. The outfielder has a .283 batting average along with 113 home runs throughout his minor league career.”
Brown’s MLB Career
Brown was picked in the 19th round of the 2015 MLB Draft.
He has spent all seven seasons of his MLB career with the Athletics, most recently appearing in 38 games last year.
In 2022, Brown batted .230 with 25 home runs and 73 RBI’s in 150 games.
Over 568 career MLB games, Brown is batting .226 with 371 hits, 74 home runs, 233 RBI’s, 180 runs and 24 stolen bases.
He has also appeared in one playoff game (2019).
It will be interesting to see if the Yankees (or another team) give the 33-year-old a chance this season.
Yankees Right Now
The Yankees got off to an excellent start to the season.
That said, they have gone cold over the last few weeks.
Currently, the Yankees are 5.5 games back of the Rays for first-place in the American League East with a 30-22 record.
Following their series with the Rays, they will head to Kansas City for a meeting with the Royals on Monday.
