Other than Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo has been the most consistent Mets hitter.
DENVER — Other than Pete Alonso, their slugging first baseman who might challenge the 60-homer plateau, the list of Mets players who have performed at a consistently high level offensively this season is short.“Through thick and thin, he’s been a constant for us,” manager Buck Showalter said before theThe best of Nimmo was on display Friday when, to begin his annual homecoming, he reached base five times .
In recent weeks, Francisco Alvarez, who had a triple and a three-run homer on Saturday, has emerged to provide production from the bottom of the lineup.Nimmo reaching base atop the batting order, with Lindor delivering behind him, is one such method of attack. Lindor knocked in four runs on Friday, with Nimmo scoring three of them.
In a lean market for quality center fielders, the 30-year-old Nimmo was an obvious choice for a return to the organization that drafted and developed him. Lindor pointed out Nimmo’s first plate appearance Friday as an example of the mental warfare he wages on an opposing pitcher.“Eight more years we have together?” Lindor said. “I can’t wait.”
