4 months agoNew York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 1-for-5 with his first career grand slam and an additional run scored in Thursday's 13-10 shootout loss to the Atlanta Braves. The 30-year-old's bomb was just the fourth hit over his last 28 at-bats. Nimmo has shaped up as a fairly low-end fantasy option in leagues which don't count walks. The speedy centerfielder hasn't tried to steal a base since getting caught doing so back on May 4. Nimmo remains a very good source of runs and average as New York's everyday leadoff hitter. The on-base machine is slashing .283/.373/.422 with 36 runs scored, five dingers, and 25 RBI this season. It's worth noting that Nimmo also owns a career-high 48.6% hard-hit rate in 2023.--Joseph Barbati - RotoBaller
