Nimmo finds his groove: Mets’ top pick finally shining on Coney Island
Friday the 13th turned out to be a lucky day for Brandon Nimmo.
The Cyclones’ center fielder, selected in the first round (13th overall) by the Mets in last year’s Major League Draft, saw his hitting take a fortuitous turn for the better nearly three weeks ago, and he hasn’t stopped battering opponents since.
The highest-drafted player ever to grace the lush green outfield grass at Coney Island’s MCU Park is batting a blistering .326 over his last 10 games, and has hit safely in 15 of 19 contests since going 3-for-4 with a run scored on July 13 at Connecticut.
