Player Review: Brandon Nimmo
2020 Stats: 55 Games, 186 At Bats, .280 Batting Average, 52 Hits, 8 Doubles, 3 Triples, 8 Home Runs, 18 RBI’s, 33 Runs Scored, 1 Stolen Base, .888 OPS, 1.6 WAR
Story: The Mets began 2020 with Brandon Nimmo as their starting center fielder. The plan was for Nimmo to platoon with Jake Marisnick, but an early injury to Marisnick gave Nimmo the job by himself essentially. Nimmo took advantage, staying healthy to produce a fine overall season. Offense wasn’t an issue for Nimmo, who swung a good bat throughout the season and had a strong finishing kick, batting .338 with three home runs, eight RBI’s and a .930 OPS in September. Defense was a bit more of an adventure for Nimmo, who gave a good effort but simply was being played out of position due to the Mets’ need to try to fit as many of their best bats in the lineup as possible.
A strange one, I thought.
ReplyDeleteHow do you write a season review of Brandon Nimmo and not mention OBP?
