Hunter Brown's rise to an MLB All-Star this season has been marked by impressive performance improvements, particularly in his ERA, which has dropped to 2.21 from 3.49 last year. His strikeouts are way up, already nearing last year’s total midway through the season. Much of this success can be traced back to a pivotal conversation with teammate Jose Altuve, who advised Brown on pitch strategy, emphasizing the importance of adjustments in his pitching.
