Top ’14 College Hitters - 4. Bradley Zimmer / OF / San Francisco — The younger
brother of Royal first-rounder Kyle, Zimmer is an impressive athlete who looks
like he can play center field despite his size (6-5, 205). Right now the
left-handed hitting outfielder is much more raw talent than finished product,
but with some raw power and above-average tools across the board he will be a
coveted prospect come June. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2013/10/top-14-for-14-college-hitters/

Pine Tar Press - 32- OF Brad Zimmer U. of San Francisco
11/27/92- He is the younger brother of 2012 Kansas City Royals 1st round pick
Kyle. Zimmer is a tall, lean RF with a solid line drive approach and good
speed. He has a very good arm and uses all fields well from the left side of
the plate. I saw him play Missouri in 40-degree weather last March and he
showed very good bat control and a solid baseball IQ. (Red Sox @ 30) http://pinetarpress.com/early-look-2014-mlb-draft/

Baseball - 16. Arizona Diamondbacks — Bradley Zimmer, OF, San Francisco - With
so much pitching in their system, the D-backs can grab one of the higher upside
guys in the 2014 MLB draft. The younger brother of Royals top prospect Kyle
Zimmer, Bradley is a 6’-5” right-hander with plus speed and developing power.
Over 58 games as a sophomore, he hit .320/.437/.512 with 12 doubles, seven home
runs and stole 19 bases. He also shows a great approach at the plate as he drew
29 walks to 31 strikeouts and was hit by a pitch a whopping 16 times, proving
he’ll do whatever it takes to get on base. He showed off his wheels for the
Collegiate National Team, swiping 11 of 12 bases over 21 games while also
hitting an even .300. His speed and plus arm should allow him to remain in
center field at the next level. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99

Preseason College All-Americans – Outfield - Bradley Zimmer, San Francisco -
2013 Stats: .320 AVG, 12 2B, 3 3B, 7 HR, 37 RBI, 29 BB, 31 SO, 19 SB -
Bradley’s brother, righthanded pitcher Kyle Zimmer, was a first-round pick in
the MLB draft two summers ago. Bradley could be the next Zimmer to receive that
honor should he put together a strong spring, which by the way, is expected.
Zimmer has a very lengthy frame at 6-foot-5, 205-pounds and impressed scouts
this past summer on the Cape Cod League with his ability to consistently put
the bat on the ball. Zimmer has good instincts in the outfield, and also
possesses above average speed. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9294

Number 18 on our countdown is San Francisco junior outfielder Bradley Zimmer.
The La Jolla, California native attended La Jolla, High School. He was a three
year varsity starter as he led the squad in many categories including average
(.446), home runs, RBI, stolen bases, on-base percentage. As a freshman, he
started 42 games while hitting .242 in 153 at-bats with nine doubles, one
triple, and 15 RBI. In 2013, he played in 58 games while hitting .320 with
seven home runs, 37 RBI and 19 stolen bases. He had a team-high .512 slugging
percentage and team-best .949 OPS. He spent the summer with the USA Collegiate
National Team where he hit .300 with a home run, 11 RBI and a team-best 11
stolen bases. He finished the summer with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod
Baseball League where she was named postseason MVP after leading the team to
the league championship. http://ht.ly/2DA1oL

Bradley Zimmer, OF, San Francisco - The 6’-5”, 210 pound left-hander oozes
potential and shows every tool except power right now. With his size, however,
most think he can hit around 20-25 home runs a year down the line. He has a
plus arm, much like his older brother, and Royals top prospect Kyle Zimmer, and
mixed with his speed and instincts, should remain a legit center fielder. Over
58 games as a sophomore, he hit .320/.437/.512 with 12 doubles, seven home runs
and 19 stolen bases. He also shows a great approach at the plate as he drew 29
walks to 31 strikeouts and was hit by a pitch a whopping 16 times, proving
he’ll do whatever it takes to get on base. He showed off his wheels for the
Collegiate National Team, swiping 11 of 12 bases over 21 games while also
hitting an even .300. He hit .270 over 22 games with Cotuit of the Cape Cod
League with eight extra-base hits and six stolen bases. He drew just three
walks to 22 strikeouts but this was after a long season of baseball and fatigue
may have been setting in. He’s a big, athletic left-hander who can play a
premium position and there is still upside left. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-dark-horse-candidates-chicago-cubs-first-pick/41075#UeYBipV5rOuYd7xE.99
