Andres
Jimenez

Uncommitted. Jimenez put together a huge performance on the mound to open the season for the Panthers. The RHP deployed a deep-four pitch mix while showing present pitchability, which led to double-digit whiffs with 7K through 2.2 IP. The fastball lived 84-86, topping at 87 with heavy arm-side run and above-average command especially to the outer half. Showed the curveball at 67-70 that created depth and is hard to pick up out of the hand. As well as flashing a slider in the mid to low 70s and a CH at 74-76. The fastball/curveball combo created swing-and-miss, while consistently disrupting timing and keeping hitters off balance. The operation on the mound is clean, while creating good extension and leverage as well as getting down the mound. The velocity has continued an upward tick with plenty of projection remaining in the 6-foot-1, 207-pound frame.

Uncommitted. Jimenez has a wiry athletic frame at 6’1” 185lbs. Worked a shorter arm swing on the mound that he timed up well into a high ¾ arm slot. He really impressed in his start for the ECB Astros, as he showed the ability to fill up the zone and attack opposing hitters. He worked the fastball mostly 82-84 in the start, topping out at 85 with a bit of run to the arm-side and good tilt to the bottom of the zone. Off of the fastball, he mixed in a gradual sweeping slider at 70-74. He showed good feel to manipulate the pitch, and averaged around 2400rpm. It’s a solid arsenal at present with athletic movements down the mound that projects to keep throwing harder.
