When talking about the Mets, the NL side had a dominant run during the regular season this year. But a slip in form towards the season’s conclusion made them contest in the wildcard rounds. However, a shocking defeat in the wildcard series got them eliminated. So, while bolstering their lineup for next year, the Mets have re-signed outfielder Brandon Nimmo.

Nonetheless, Nimmo has got a chance to build a grand legacy for himself from here on.
The MLB career of Brandon Nimmo and his last season statistics in a nutshell
Nimmo made his MLB debut with the Mets in 2016. Thus, his contract re-signing now means that he will most probably retire as a Mets player. He concluded this year’s MLB season by smashing 16 home runs, with 64 RBIs, averaging 0.274. While Nimmo remains one of the most impressive outfielders, he has not yet achieved any major accolades to credit. It’s a fact that Nimmo would surely try to turn around in the future.
