MILWAUKEE — Turns out Aaron Judge found Nimmo years ago and knew the outfielder was capable of being an impact player with the Mets.
The Yankees star and Brandon Nimmo were teammates on the 2014 Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League.
“I’m glad Brandon is getting the opportunity,’’ Judge told The Post earlier this week. “He’s a really good player.’’
Nimmo is showing that on an everyday basis for the Mets.
Nimmo went into Friday night’s 4-3, 10-innings loss to the Brewers at Miller Park with hits in six straight at-bats and had reached reach safely eight straight times.
