Brandon Nimmo is scheduled to make his Grapefruit League debut on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Nimmo is expected to move over to left field this season with Harrison Bader starting in center field. He is coming off hitting a career-high 24 home runs, while also hitting at least .274 at the plate for the fourth straight season.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Brandon Nimmo will play left field this season.
Fantasy Impact
It will be free agent acquisition Harrison Bader starting in center field this season for the Mets after Nimmo started most games in center last season.
Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-4 with 2 RBI, including a double, in the Mets' dominant 11-1 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact
This performance adds to Nimmo's solid season, where he has been a consistent contributor with a .267 batting average, 23 home runs, and 81 runs scored. While his stolen base numbers have been lacking, Nimmo's ability to get on base with a .357 wOBA and a respectable 0.109 walk rate has made him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. Look for Nimmo to continue providing offensive production down the stretch.
Nimmo's performance on Tuesday showcased his power potential, as he launched two home runs and drove in two runs.
Fantasy Impact
With 22 home runs on the season, Nimmo has already surpassed his previous career-high and is proving to be a valuable asset in fantasy baseball. While his batting average sits at .266, his ability to contribute in multiple categories, including runs scored and walks, makes him a valuable option in deeper leagues. Fantasy managers should continue to ride Nimmo's hot streak and expect more power production moving forward.
Nimmo had a solid outing at the plate, going 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Mets' 2-1 win over the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his low batting average on the season, Nimmo has shown some pop with 20 home runs and has been a reliable run scorer with 73 runs scored. While his strikeout rate remains high at 25.4%, his ability to draw walks at a 15.2% rate has helped maintain a respectable on-base percentage. Fantasy owners can continue to rely on Nimmo for some power and run production, but his batting average may continue to be a drag on his overall value.
