One correction: he is 22, not 19. I want less walking, more hitting, from Reimer. 28 walks in 42 games is nice, but a .207 batting average in AA is highly disappointing. He is yet another guy with huge home field disadvantage: .157 at home, .250 on the road. Stangely, he hit 70 points HIGHER at home than the road in 2025. And…the killer…just 5 for 51 with RISP this year.
ReplyDeleteHis last 3 full seasons (2023, 2025, and this year) he hits significantly better in day games. Does he have a vision issue?
Reimer's key skill has always been the power bat. His glove will not get him to MLB. Swing often, swing well young man.
ReplyDeleteI have a Reimer article on Sunday. It is environmental.
ReplyDeleteHow does a 21-22 year old top 5 prospect in the “system” for several years have to lose weight to “become more athletic”. I’d expect that to be part of the player development “program” from the start of one’s tenure with the organization.
ReplyDeleteHow many other “fatties” do we have on the top prospect list???!!!
He always looked a little chubby to me in pictures. I finally remember Dominic Smith, signing as a teenager at 185 pounds, and when the Mets called them up, he weighed 260. I was flabbergasted that the Mets just let that happen to a number one round pick. That they weren’t on top of his dietary and other issues that led to a 75 pound weight gain. Now he has normalized at 225. Had he been 225 pounds when the Mets called him up, he may have been a successful met.
DeleteFONDLY, not finally.
