Criminally underrated ballplayer
Not for much longer , he deserves the attention.
As a Mets fan,I am glad that he is on our side. Our unofficial captain. Not to mention incredibly clutch!!!!
@miguel.ledesmaledesma1790 honestly he is very very close to earning captain status . If we get the wc spot this year on the back of him having a great year then give it to him.he bleeds orange and blue and he is genuinely a good man ( based on what media tells us , I don't know him lol)
Reminds me of David Wright alot
His only real knock is his arm. Excellent glove and route to balls. Excellent on base. Power. 4 tool player when hes right.
Love the guy. Admittedly, a lifelong Mets fan - but I absolutely love Nimmo. 360° class act and getting better every year.
Nimmo was drafted by the Mets in Rd 1 from Wyoming as a high potential but raw high schooler. He spent several years in the minors honing his skills.
Nimmo has shown a lot of tools & potential. He is a disciplined hitter & he has an infectious happy-go-lucky attitude. He’s a leader & his smile keeps everyone loose even during rough times. He thrived at leadoff because of his eye & high On Base despite lacking plus speed. He’s show 20+ HR Power but as he has aged & gained experience he has started to fulfill his potential even more. He is becoming a better all around run producer. Now he is hitting 2nd & thriving. He was a solid CF but now he is a legitimate corner outfielder. He isn’t only a good player but a solid citizen & great teammate. I think Baty can have a similar trajectory but Vientos really made the most of his opportunity & shown that he is the Mets’ starting 3B
Let’s Go Mets❕
I once watched Omar Minaya talk about the Mets organization always trying to draft guys with athleticism. I think that's what they saw in Nimmo as part of his potential. He was athletic enough to not only be a big leaguers but to grow into a star player
One of the biggest knocks on Nimmo was he couldn't stay healthy, but the guy is producing and healthy. The contract looks like a bargain now.
Nimmo is a player any team's fanbase would love to have for his hustle, attitude and just being a damn gamer!
And he’s a great leader
He showed what he could do in a full season in 2018, .888 OPS over 140 games. Early in his career he just had unfortunate injuries that kept him off the field, now he’s staying healthy. Always good OBP & good hitter. Now he added the power last few seasons. Good investment by Mets, he keeps getting better.
His evolution as a hitter from a slap hitter who will do any thing to walk to a guy who’s now hitting 3-0 home runs out of the stadium
Nimmo literally the definition of happy to be there
It's a game and he's having a ball!
Always been my guy, LGM .
Happiest Man in Baseball. LFGM 🧡💙
I think JD Martinez is coaching these guys on the side. The only time since JD was signed and the Mets weren't hitting solidly and hitting HRs was when he first signed and when JD seemed to be sick with the flu or something.
100% agree with this.
Sure, but Nimmo’s evolution began last summer, when Jeremy Barnes and co noted that Nimmo had the rare combination of plus contact skills, plate discipline, and exit velocity, and that if they worked on cleaning up his swing path and getting him to lift the ball more (he had already started to be more aggressive), he could turn into a legitimate power threat. (I was glad to read this, because I predicted before last season that Nimmo would become a 25-30 HR guy.)
Also he's simply just a stronger human being now. A couple yrs ago when starling marte was signed nimmo took note of his physique... his stance even mirrors starlings as well m
I was happy that he re-signed with the Mets. The contract will look like a bargain by the end of it as he's always had good contact skill and discipline. Instead of battling the pitcher over 10 pitches, and then drawing a walk, he's now driving some of the balls that he would've fouled off (or taken) in the past.
It's a bargain already
This was a great breakdown. Great job MLB network.
How is not an all star? Lindor also the past few seasons. MLB, what the heck.
Right? Wtf
All us Mets fans know him and Lindor were robbed this year. All they’ve been doing is putting up big numbers, yet no reward for their actions.
@@edgoodwin4389 I love Alonso but hell I'd be lying if I said he deserved it over them. They've been the best 1-2 punch in the beginning of the lineup. Nimmo is top 10 in Rbis. Mostly as a leadoff hitter.. and Lindor is #2 in doubles with gold glove defense and great power stats as well. Like whut
Absolutely crushing this season!
love brandon! earned everything through and through
Snubbed for the ASG, but I bet he gets MVP votes.
The way he hustles out of the plate towards first at every bat, it says alot about his drive and work ethic. It’s those small things that really domino effects into other aspects of his skills and potential.
My favorite Met, and no other player is close. Brando’s the total package
Let’s Go Brando
Great talk🎉 Can't get over how well you guys did that. Every frame was a learning experience.....😊
That signed Nimmo Jersey I bought two years ago tho 👌always knew Nimmo was special
Makes me so happy to see Brandon getting his flowers. I remember when he first came up as a smiling-ass goofball...What a ballplayer he's turned into. Low-key greatness.
Mike drop 10:22
Nimmo is a good guy who is decent ! Doesn’t use foul language .
Love the analysis and insights by the pros.
CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S NOT IN THE ALL STAR.. HE'S A MONSTER.. L.G.M.
He is a perfect fit for #2 hitter. Gets on base plenty for #3 and #4 hitters. Recent power increase is a plus. 20 mil a year avg is gonna be a steal for Mets in long run.
The pride of Wyoming!
Always been one of my favorite Mets since he got to the big leagues he’s been nothing but a pros pro and a great player
Great break down boys!!! B NIM IS A PROBLEM LGM!
Nimmo was a strange player. Took a long time to develop and when he came up he got better every season. The dude cashed in on FA and he is still progressing.
Nimmo is the stallion out there. Batting, making great catches. I wish we had another one of him.
Somehow out there, Sandy Alderson is smiling.
I love nimmo and can’t believe he got snubbed from being an all star this year
When he signed his new deal I thought……Jeeze that’s steep for Nimmo. I was happy as hell for him and man is he playing above that salary now! Signing Bader and moving Nimmo to Left field has been so clutch in 2024. Super happy for him! Mark De Rosa you are so awesome doing segments like this, it’s such a joy to watch and listen to. When you dropped the bat…😂
Really balanced, stays in his stance so he can extend onto pitch to opposite field. Nims is in the zone 👍
Great segment. LGM
Nimmo had a terrific season in 2022. He can hit home runs but the last thing he needs is to try and hit 40. That will screw up his swing because it will get bigger and he will start getting beaten inside with fastballs. That's how he will be pitched from now on. I hope he adjusts.
Brandon was definitely horrible in those first 63 games. I don’t recall him being in a slump for that long. Great to see him back playing up to his potential.
Its a shame how Nimmo and Lindor got passed on for the ASG
Still trying to figure out why he wasn’t in the All Star game this year smdh….
Ive said for years to get Nimmo out of the leadoff spot.
2:07 Wow, Cliff has it 100% wrong. There has been plenty of reporting that the Mets’ analytics department and their hitting dev folks absolutely knew Nimmo could be this guy.
He’s had the power for years by exit velocity though, just with worse launch angles and bad luck.
It's the teeth. They blind pitchers.
cool it
Croatia watching.
I took over a garbage fantasy baseball team this year. Traded Aaron Civale straight up for Brandon Nimmo in mid April and got dragged for it.
Nimmo has been criminally underrated for years. It may not be the case anymore
Cliff has lost some weight 😅
HIMMO
shawty off the pills
Baseball should be embarrassed that he is not chosen as an allstar
Lfgm!!!!!
It’s not luck. Ball don’t lie.
but hes not an all star
LAUREN is still the hottest chick in baseball and thenALANA.
Much better with Lindor as leadoff.
