Jake Brown brings power arm upside for Central Michigan, but command remains the swing skill
In the 2026 season, Central Michigan right-hander Jake Brown has been a multi-inning bullpen option who went 1-0 with a 7.11 ERA across nine appearances, while his 2025 season showed more promise with a 2-0 record and run prevention in eight of 12 outings[1]. At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, he has the frame teams like, and he’s already shown he can help snap losing streaks and deliver in relief roles[1]. The fit question is clear: he has useful bullpen size and durability, but his higher ERA and uneven command suggest a developmental arm rather than an instant shutdown weapon[1][2].
