Over the last year or so there has become this disdain among New York Mets fans regarding Brandon Nimmo. He has been the topic of a lot of fans trade proposals for players such as Mookie Betts, Nolan Arenado, and other high-profile trade targets.
So many fans seem to want to ship Nimmo out of town and it just does not seem justified.
The best guess as to why there is such dislike for such a likable guy is that fans are getting caught in a modern-day fallacy of only evaluating hitters by batting average and not taking all metrics into account.
