Brinson, who was nominated in the 29th overall in the 1st round of the 2012 draft (Texas Rangers), received $1.625 million (2.02 billion won) as a sign-up fee. He wore a Milwaukee Brewers uniform in the August 2016 trade for catcher Jonathan Luke Roy and made his big league debut in 2017. He played in 109 games in 2018 with 11 homers and 42 RBI, but his batting average was low at 0.199 (76 hits in 382 at-bats).

Last season with the San Francisco Giants, he played 16 big league games, batting average of 0.167 (6 hits in 36 at-bats), 3 homers and 4 RBIs. Brinson’s career (6 years) in the big leagues was a batting average of 0.198, 28 home runs and 109 RBIs in 357 games. He couldn’t reach his potential in the major leagues (MLB), but his minor league performance is decent. He has a career (10 years) batting average of 0.285 with 129 home runs and 448 RBIs.
