EDGE Analysis

Jimenez was satisfied with his overall performance in his spring debut. Following the outing, the veteran said he's working to avoid deep counts this season. "I think that's what I was able to do in the last part of the [2016] season. That was attacking the strike zone, getting ahead and staying ahead. That's going to save me a lot of pitches and going to allow me to get deeper in the games," the southpaw told reporters after the game. Over the past three seasons, Jimenez has worked his way into a full count against a whopping 17.5 percent of the hitters he's faced. Last year, he averaged a career-worst 5.1 innings per start.
