The 28-year-old sports a .464 batting average (13-for-28) and .583 OBP through eight games from the top of the Mets' order, but with most of the rest of the offense having sluggish starts to the year, he's only crossed the plate four times so far.

Nimmo went 3-for-6 with two walks, a run scored and three RBI across both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader as the Mets swept the Phillies.

Nimmo has reached base multiple times in all seven games to begin the season, and while he's still looking for his first homer. he boasts a scorching .435/.581/.565 slash line.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo led off the bottom of the first inning with a double -- his first extra-base hit of the campaign. He added a single and an additional double to record his second consecutive multi-hit game. Nimmo has also already drawn five walks in four contests, putting him in a strong position to rack up runs as the team's primary leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching.

Nimmo has gone 12-for-39 (.308) this spring with two doubles, a triple, a home run, a stolen base and a 6:10 BB:K this spring.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old appears ticketed for the leadoff spot thanks to his .390 career OBP and 15.1 percent walk rate, and Nimmo has flashed his patience once again in Grapefruit League action. With Francisco Lindor added to the lineup behind him, Nimmo could threaten 100 runs scored in 2021 if he can stay healthy.
