As the weather continues to heat up, so does Brandon Nimmo.

The left fielder has been quietly heating up again for the Mets and was monumental in another win this season.

On Monday against the Cardinals, Nimmo stepped up to the plate tied 3-3. The Cardinals had just erased a 3-0 deficit in the bottom of the sixth against Sean Manaea, and the Mets were in danger of coughing up the lead and a win in the fourth consecutive game.

But Nimmo had other plans. Facing Andrew Kittredge—who came into the game with a 0.64 ERA with no home runs allowed—Nimmo launched an off-speed pitch 415 feet at 111 mph to left field to give the Mets a 4-3 lead.

Nimmo’s solo shot in the top of the seventh was the winning RBI and got the Mets back in the win column after getting swept by the Rays in Tampa. It was his fourth homer of the season and first since April 29 against the Cubs.

“Honestly, the homer run I hit tonight was a good pitch,” Nimmo said of Kittredge’s changeup. “I was just able to get the barrel there.”

Getting the barrel to the ball has been something Nimmo has done all season long. He came into Monday’s contest in the 83rd percentile in barrel percentage (12.1) and hard-hit rate (48.4%).

In turn, Nimmo’s exit velocities have been high all season. He’s averaging 92 mph on balls put in play, which would be a career-high. Nimmo’s homer also was hit at 111.1 mph on Monday night, the hardest hit ball by the outfielder all season.

But, despite hitting the ball harder than ever, the results haven’t quite been what all the red on his Savant page may indicate. He entered Monday with a .369 slugging and 11 extra-base hits in 152 plate appearances.

So, what does this all mean? Should there be concern for the outfielder? No, not at all. Nimmo slugged a career-high 24 homers last season, and there’s no indicator that his power outburst is stopping anytime soon.

Nimmo’s expected slugging is .513, which is the 88th percentile of all major league players. If his true slugging percentage matched the number above, he’d be tied for 23rd in the league with Jordan Westburg.

The results are on their way. And Nimmo knows that himself. After the game, and the go-ahead homer, Nimmo addressed his unluckiness in the box this season.

“I’ve kind of been hitting the ball really well the whole season,” Nimmo said. “I think Anthony (DiComo) wrote a piece on how unlucky I’ve been as far as slugging and everything goes. … I still feel like there’s more in the tank that I can get better at but I also believe that we have just stayed the course. .. I’m talking small adjustments and not change too much … but I’ve been kinda unlucky.”
