Overview
Gimenez is a raw player who’s moved from short to center and back. He has an above-average arm and solid speed, along with some power potential.
2023-24
Gimenez had a very common sort of debut for young hitters in the DSL; he hit for a low average and almost no power, but walked a lot, a little more than he struck out. He finished with a line of 198/363/210. He spent time at second, short, third and center, and a little in left. In 2024, Gimenez returned to the league and showed moderate improvement, hitting 250/398/310 and again walking a little more than he struck out. In 2024 he played first more than anywhere else, with some games at second and only two at short.
