Mets: Brandon Nimmo’s willingness to get hit by pitches will cost him

If you want on vacation this summer to a tropical country without Internet or any outside communication, you’ll be shocked to return to the mainland and see how far Brandon Nimmo has fallen. The New York Mets spark this season finished May batting .287 overall and completed June with a .270 batting average on the year.

Both are good totals for a guy nobody expected to see play this often. Lately, though, Nimmo has struggled at the plate.

Every month in 2018 has included a decline at the plate. His monthly batting average has gone down each flip of the calendar.
