Outfielder Brandon Nimmo's next game will be his 1,000th contest in a Mets uniform, becoming just the 11th player in franchise history for the Amazin's to accomplish such a feat.

After a slow start, Nimmo, who in recent years has shifted to a power approach, is seeing his swing pay dividends. In the last 37 games, he’s slashing .313/.365/.569 with 10 homers, seven doubles, 25 RBIs and 22 runs. He has 18 homers this year, behind only Juan Soto (21) and Pete Alonso (20) on the Mets.

During the Mets’ tough stretch, they had a hard time coming up with the big knock when they needed it -- but of late Brandon Nimmo has stepped up and delivered.
