The injury derailed his season last year. It is concerning that he didn't have surgery to correct the plantar fasciitis. It could derail this season if it gets acts up and you won't have time to rest it in- season. There is also the age factor. I still feel that he will improve this year if he's somewhat healthy but I don't have illusions that he will be the 830+ OPS like he used to be.
No prognosticators foretold the abysmal season that Nimmo had in his slash line. If you had the lowest then you got the prize. TJ predicted the lowest in BA at 278 and SLG 423 and NYM6986 predicted a 365 OBP. Nimmo had a 224/327/399 slash line. Brian only 13 PA away for predicting Nimmo's 663 PA. Steve1962 and NYM6986 had bullseyes with the 23 home runs.
It's not concerning. "You should never suffer pain unnecessarily, however, seeing as how plantar fasciitis surgery is needed in only 5% of cases, assuming worse right away is not the best course of action. "
I am travelling out of the country and do not have my computer to put all he numbers in, but as I was looking over this yesterday, I was thinking a long the lines that Gus gave us.. I'll go a tad more bullish on PA with less results: 350 plate appearances .247 BA. .325 OBP. .410 SLG. 12 HRs
Plantar Fasciitis is a bear. I had it 20 years ago. Obviously I am not a world class athlete and didn’t have access to the treatment that Nimmo has but it is truly painful and there is no remedy other than stretching and time. However, once I recovered, it was gone. I am hoping Nimmo can put this behind him. His knee trouble is something new though and while it may seem unrelated, it very well could be. If he’s had to adjust his stride to compensate for PF pain, then he’s not recovered.
All that said, I am taking the optimistic approach and think we’ll see a more typical Nimmo year. He’s a smart player and will adjust his role as a middle of the line-up guy versus the lead-off hitter. So lower. OBP, higher slugging.
Got to love Nimmo’s attitude including running out walks. Despite his foot issues, I see him stealing more bases and helping the team manufacture runs. Where he hits in the order will be important too and getting on base will be crucial as this team is built to score runs and overcome some questionable starting pitching. Still think that if Alonso walks after 2025, Nimmo will be working out at 1B. He is athletic enough and his offense is not at question.
