SAN DIEGO — Brandon Nimmo received the advice, but isn’t so sure it’s right for him.
As the Mets outfielder muddles through a horrific slump — he is 0-for-26 after grounding out as a pinch hitter in the Mets’ 4-0 loss to the Padres on Monday — there has been a request from manager Mickey Callaway that he expand his strike zone and not be so particular.
For Nimmo, who has built a career on plate discipline, those words were difficult to entirely digest.
“I am sure we will come up with a compromise on it,” Nimmo said.
