Brandon Nimmo Stands Out For Savannah | FanGraphs Baseball

Great post on Fangraphs about Brandon Nimmo, the Mets 1st round draft pick (13th overall) in 2011. I've written about and posted about Nimmo in the past. The Fangraphs post has some great video, which I re-posted below. This quote pretty much sums up the post:

"Finally in full season, Nimmo has achieved a .447/.518/.574 line through twelve games and shows no signs of slowing down. Having scouted him a couple of times against the Rome Braves, the left-handed hitter deserves mention with the very best the South Atlantic League has to offer."

The Sand Gnats are actually in Lakewood, NJ this weekend playing the Phillies Low-A Affiliate, Lakewood Blue Claws. Unfortunately I can't make it this weekend to any of the games but hopefully enough local fans will make it out and post lots of video of Nimmo, Steven Matz, Gabriel Ynoa, Rainy Lara, Phillip Evans, Kevin Plawecki, and others.

Nice little article about New York Mets 2011 first round draft pick Brandon Nimmo.

Checking In On The Mets 2011 Draft Class | Mets Merized Online

Mets Merized Online checks in on the Mets top six picks in the 2011 MLB draft. Aside from Brandon Nimmo still playing in Extended Spring Training awaiting the start of the Brooklyn Cyclones season, the pitchers have looked very good.

Add in Domingo Tapia's performance at Lo-A Savannah on Friday (5.2 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 9 K) and the Mets could one day find themselves with more pitching prospects than they know what to do with.

It would be a nice problem to have. Hopefully this time they'll keep the one that would go on to pitch a perfect game and instead include the inconsistent one in a trade for a superstar.
