What New York walk-year player is having his best season, in part, by proving he can stay healthy and play center field at a high level?
. But he is not the only answer. Because the Mets’ Brandon Nimmo is making quite a free agent case, too.Of course, there is bias here. Boras is Nimmo’s agent. But it lined up with what two agents who don’t represent Nimmo, plus three front-office executives said. Those more neutral observers all liked similar elements about Nimmo’s game that Boras had defined for me. Notably:
But he has the most vital leadoff skill — Nimmo is a master at getting on base. On-base percentage is in the midst of falling for a third straight year, down to .308 entering the weekend — the lowest since 1968, the Year of the Pitcher. In the three-year window during which on-base percentage had fallen , Nimmo’s mark was .400.
One of the agents said, “We have all this information and teams are so smart about how they weigh years of information, yet many remain so easily swayed by what happens the next 4 1/2 months.” The other agent said, “This case has a lot to do with the rest of the season — and that is most of the season.”That is because the biggest thing for Nimmo is that he needs to play and, thus, prove his health. He has exceeded 92 games in just one of his first six seasons.
