Jeremy Brown Character Analysis

An unlikely professional athlete drafted by the Oakland A’s in 2002, Jeremy Brown is overweight, hairy, and generally un-charismatic. Nevertheless, he has a high on-base percentage and a consistent, reliable swing. Throughout the book, Michael Lewis uses Jeremy Brown as a kind of case study for Paul DePodesta and Billy Beane’s approach to management.
