Las Vegas 51s Brandon Nimmo was named the Pacific Coast League’s Player of the Week for the week ending August 21, 2016.

Over the past week, the 23-year old Nimmo was 14-31 (.452 batting average) with nine runs, three doubles, one triple, two homers, seven RBI, five walks, and one stolen base.  This is Nimmo’s first full season in AAA, and he is hitting .345/.420/.539 with 55 runs, 21 doubles, eight triples, nine homers, and 53 RBI.

Nimmo was the Mets 2011 first round draft pick.  Nimmo’s play in AAA this season earned him a 20 game cup of coffee where he hit .237/.297/.288 with one homer, and five RBI.

Nimmo joins T.J. Rivera (May 16 – 22 and August 1 – 7) and Gavin Cecchini (June 13 – 19) as the Pacific Coast League’s batter of the week.  Rafael Montero was the May 9 – 15 Pitcher of the Week.
