"In Brandon Nimmo, the Mets basically have a young, pre-injury Michael Brantley on their hands, a player with great plate discipline and good corner-outfield defense with a chance at more," writes Eno Sarris for FanGraphs.
The 24-year-old Nimmo's elite plate discipline helped him post a walk rate of 15.3 percent and a .379 OBP in 69 games for the Mets last season. And it's one of the reasons why they're reportedly not willing to trade him to the Pirates for INF/OF Josh Harrison.
"Only four players reached at pitches outside the zone less often than Nimmo last year, so he's got something serious going for him there," Sarris notes.
