Before COVID-19 overtook the world, Vas Drimalitis previewed Brandon Nimmo’s 2020 season and opined that the happy-go-lucky center fielder should be expected to be a very productive player if healthy. Those who wish to contemplate what Nimmo’s on-field production might look like this year should simply re-read Vas’s piece, as I have nothing further to add to the case that he made. Nimmo is good. The Mets are lucky to have him. The end.
But of all the players on the Mets roster, his is the one whose presence will most concern me heading into the shortened season.
