2022 Fantasy Outlook
Nimmo provided some batting average support to his fantasy managers, but he just wasn't on the field enough to provide much overall value. He missed time with finger, hip and hamstring injuries. He has never been able to stay healthy over a full season, with 140 games being his highest total. His managers can dream back to 2018 when he had 17 homers, nine steals and was a nice fourth or fifth outfielder in 15-team leagues. His home-run power has been halved and the main culprit is a near-50% groundball rate. He's definitely going for a line-drive approach, and he started spreading the ball around with his Pull% dropping from 44.7% in 2018 to 33.1% last season. Additionally, his career 14.9 BB% puts him near a .400 OBP every season. He seems to want to run, but he's just not been successful with a 62% success rate over his career (5-for-9 last season). Stolen bases are not a part of his game to count on. When healthy, he is a nice add for batting average or on-base percentage only. Read Past Outlooks

Cleared to start Wednesday
Mets manager Buck Showalter said Nimmo (quadriceps) will start in center field and bat leadoff Wednesday against the Cardinals, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Nimmo's availability for Wednesday's contest was iffy heading into the day after he exited the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with a bruised right quad. The Mets put Nimmo through a pregame workout to gauge his health, and the 29-year-old apparently passed all the necessary tests to guarantee his availability.

How does Brandon Nimmo compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Does 2020 count as the first full season of Nimmo's career? Only once had he played in at least 75% of the games in a season prior to 2020 as he has dealt with many injuries. When he is not injured, he is an ideal leadoff candidate in a lineup as he is incredibly accepting of his walks (career .377 OBP). Sure, he has struck out quite often, but Nimmo improved greatly in that regard in 2020, lowering his strikeout rate nine full percentage points from the 2019 season. The neck and back injuries may ultimately limit his ability to hit for more power, but a strong spring would secure his spot setting the table for a once-again talented (on paper) lineup in Queens, at least on the strong side of a platoon. A healthy Nimmo could finish in the top 10 in runs scored.
