Brandon Nimmo News
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo had a standout day at the plate Friday, going 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Nimmo now has eight home runs on the season to go with 51 runs, 27 RBI, and five steals in 316 at-bats. His .854 OPS is excellent, but he'll need to increase his counting stats in order to become a steady fantasy option.
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) returned from the injured list on Friday and went 1-for-5 with a run scored in the Mets 4-3 loss to the Phillies. Nimmo had last played on September 4, so his stint on the IL was relatively short. Nimmo has been one of the few consistent hitters for the Mets in 2021, slashing .300/.417/.411 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 43 runs scored, 15 doubles, and five stolen bases over 78 games. Nimmo remains valuable in all formats, particularly in leagues that have on-base percentage as a scoring category, for his solid help with ratios, as well as runs scored.
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is progressing fast after injuring his leg and landing on the 10-day injured list on September 4. According to Anthony DiComo, Nimmo has been sprinting and hitting on the field. He's eligible to be activated on Wednesday, but the team might wait until the weekend to bring him back. Nimmo's been one of the few bright spots in the Mets lineup this season, slashing .302/.420/.415 with five home runs and five stolen bases over 77 games. He isn't the best outfield option in most leagues with his career .441 slugging but is very valuable in OBP formats. Until he's back, expect Kevin Pillar to remain in center field. He's hitting .224 but can be a streaming option with his 14 HRs in 108 games.

Outfielder Brandon Nimmo followed up a lackluster 2019 campaign, due to a neck injury, with a solid 2020 performance. In 225 plate appearances, Nimmo posted a .280/.404/.484 line with eight home runs and 18 RBI (which translated to an 18-20 HR, 50 RBI campaign over a full 162-game slate). Looking closely at his 2020 numbers, Nimmo continued his decline in underlying power metrics including overall launch angle, hard-hit rate, and exit velocity. Nimmo also saw a sharp drop in flyball rate down to 16.1% from 28% in 2019, suggesting 2021 HR regression. Alternatively, Nimmo's strikeout and barrel rate both increased, and his walk rate remained elite. These factors, coupled with a sharp increase in groundball rate, slight increase in line drive rate, and consistency in his exit velocity on FB/LD (92.3 mph), suggest continued solid batting average and elite on-base performances for 2021. If Nimmo opens 2021 as the Mets starting centerfielder batting leadoff, he will have a tremendous opportunity to post high run totals in a loaded lineup, given his on-base acumen. While his sprint speed of 28 ft/sec is in MLB's 77th percentile, it has not previously translated to steals. As such, notwithstanding his OBP and possibility as the leadoff hitter, expectations for stolen base output must be tempered. With a 258 ADP, managers can select Nimmo in the later rounds for average, elite OBP, runs, and (roughly) 15 HR. Of course, should the Mets acquire a centerfielder, Nimmo may find himself on the short end of a time-share in left field with Dominic Smith if there is no universal designated hitter. Accordingly, Nimmo carries playing time risk. That said, given the low ADP versus potential return, the risk could be worth the reward.
