Rule 5 scouting report: Dany Jimenez brings heat to A’s bullpen

The Oakland A’s made two picks in the 2020 Rule 5 draft, adding two new prospects to their depth chart. Each of them will have to remain in the majors all season in order to stay in the A’s organization, but both have clear paths to the bigs if they can make good on their potential.

In this post we’ll take a closer look at Dany Jimenez, a relief pitcher drafted away from the Toronto Blue Jays.

We’ll begin with a purely objective look at Jimenez’s numbers, before a deeper dive outside the box scores.
