Overview

Pimentel got a moderately large bonus as an offense-oriented infielder.  He’s an average runner who may end up at second.  He has the potential for solid power for a middle infielder.

2023-24

Pimentel didn’t hit a lot in his first year, showing very little power, with a line of 172/322/222. His plate discipline was good. He played mostly at short, but also saw time at second and third. He went back to the DSL in 2024 and improved just marginally, batting 217/331/295. He most often played second, with some time at third and short.
