Arjun Nimmala - Prospect Profile

MLB.com - May 19th: "He has at least plus raw power and can drive the ball to all fields, and while there are still some issues about his pitch selection and inconsistency in the quality of his at-bats that sometimes keeps him from tapping into that power, scouts are bullish about his offensive upside."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - May 11th: "Nimmala gets reviews anywhere from the top half of the first round to the early second. Risk tolerance and how much a team values his extreme youth will play decisive roles in his landing spot in July."

Jim Callis - MLB.com - May 4th: "Nimmala has a lot of helium right now as an athletic shortstop with plus raw power. Of the seven shortstops in this 28-pick projection, he has the best chance of sticking at the position."

Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - May 3rd: "If your team leans toward upside and being able to imagine that it is drafting a potential All-Star, Nimmala is the guy in this year's crop, both for model-reliant clubs or those that lean toward scouts. He is young for the class, with a projectable frame, and has a swing geared for power with present tools that you can imagine turning into 30-homer seasons in the majors."

Prospects Live - April: "ico Hoerner— and Arjun Nimmala fits the mold. The athletic, super projectable shortstop from Florida posseses a great swing plane that offers a high power ceiling. Though the hit tool lags a bit behind the power."
