The 2024 fourth place, 22-30 .423 New York Mets have not impressed this month of May. It’s very safe to say there’s going to be a ton of changes this trade deadline. From ice cold performances by multiple starting position players to injury news that is disheartening, there’s very few players who make the team watchable. Here’s one who has been a sight for sore eyes.
Enter Brandon Nimmo, 31, Center Fielder. Nimmo is not only a defensive standout for the team’s potentially lackluster outfield, he’s simply a leader within the organization on and off the field.
For the past few years, Brandon Nimmo has provided the Mets with quality defense and solid fundamentals at the plate. Here’s a look at Nimmo in his 9 year career in Queens.
Over the past 9 years donning the orange and blue, Nimmo has done well with 94 home runs, 310 RBIs, batting .217 with a .356 OBP.
As far as his month of May, the splits will tell you he’s done a phenomenal job particularly in this month alone. He looks to stay in Queens, avoiding being traded at the deadline.
He’s hit 4 home runs and drove in 11 runs, batting .230 with a .352 OBP.
You can ask for excellence from a natural like Nimmo and you’ll get it. Nimmo recently homered to walk off a game as well, playing hero once again.
In conclusion, the Mets don’t have a lot of players meeting expectations. In fact, many are way below their projections. However, finding Nimmo just happened to be the blessing that the organization has achieved.
I give the nod to Nimmo as May’s player of the month, Mets baseball. Congratulations Brandon Nimmo!
