2024 Fantasy Outlook
Nimmo re-signed with the Mets on an eight-year, $162 million contract last offseason, and he delivered an impressive campaign in 2023 with 24 homers, 68 RBI, 89 runs and a .274/.363/.466 slash line in 152 games. Most of Nimmo's numbers were nearly identical to his 2022 production, though he clubbed eight more home runs as he set career highs in flyball rate (39.2 percent), barrel rate (9.5 percent) and hard-hit rate (47.7 percent). It's the second straight year he's played in over 150 games, as it appears the durability issues that plagued him earlier in his career are now behind him (though he did spend the final two days of the season on the IL with a shoulder sprain). He's not much of a threat on the bases with three steals in each of the past two seasons, but he otherwise provides fantasy managers with well-rounded production. Assuming the injury concerns are fully behind him, Nimmo should be a top-100 option again in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Smacks three-run homer
Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Friday's 11-3 victory over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Nimmo broke the game open in the Mets' big fifth inning, launching a three-run shot off Aaron Nola to extend New York's lead to 6-0. The homer was Nimmo's first in nearly a month -- he'd gone 15-for-72 (.208) with a .543 OPS in his previous 20 contests. The 31-year-old outfielder is now slashing .226/.337/.396 through 603 plate appearances this year with 19 homers, a career-best 78 RBI, 79 runs scored and 13 steals.

Stat Review
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.

Nimmo was finally able to stay healthy for a full season in 2022, as he played in a career-high 151 games for his final year before free agency, and he ultimately re-signed with the Mets on an eight-year, $162 million deal. He had his walk rate drop to 10.9 percent, but he also cut his strikeout rate to 17.2 percent, with both figures representing career lows. The center fielder was a reliable leadoff man for the Mets and had a .274/.367/.433 slash line with 16 home runs, 64 RBI and 102 runs. Nimmo nearly doubled his barrel rate to 7.0 percent and also saw a five-point increase in his groundball rate to 50.5 percent. He's a solid defender in center field and is an ideal option atop the order given his average and on-base skills, though his reliance on groundballs lowers his ceiling. It's an encouraging sign Nimmo was able to put in a full season with no notable injuries, but fantasy managers should keep in mind it's only the second time he's topped 100 games in his career, so continued good health shouldn't yet be an expectation as he enters his age-30 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extended rest possible
Giving Nimmo extended rest at some point for his quad injury is a possibility, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Nimmo missed a couple games over the weekend and was used in left field for two others as he battles a nagging right quad issue. He also sat out an entire series earlier this month with the same injury. It's something the Mets think Nimmo is capable of playing through, but since they're no longer in playoff contention they might eventually decide to shut the outfielder down.
