Working to keep on weight Nimmala has added 15 pounds from his playing weight at the end of last season, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact While it's good to see the 20-year-old bulk up, that weight mostly just replaces the mass Nimmala lost over the course of the 2025 campaign. That weight loss may have contributed to a summer slump that saw his offensive numbers crater -- he held an .842 OPS with 11 homers through his first 61 games for High-A Vancouver, but Nimmala managed just a .522 OPS with two homers over his final 59 contests. "I need to keep prepared and keep doing things the right way," the shortstop prospect said Tuesday. "That's something I look forward to taking into this year. Forget about what's going on on the field, but it's more like putting yourself in a good situation to play well." Encouragingly, Nimmala did maintain an improved strikeout rate all season, and if his more frequent contact turns into more frequent hard contact, he could be headed for a breakout in 2026.

Summerlong slump for Vancouver Nimmala is slashing .224/.313/.381 with 13 home runs and 17 steals in 120 games for High-A Vancouver.

Impact Nimmala has a .566 OPS over his last 79 games after starting the year with a .917 OPS in his first 41 games. While he will finish the year as a below average hitter (91 wRC+) in the Northwest League, Nimmala is the youngest qualified player in the league and fourth-youngest qualified hitter at High-A, so he should be graded on a bit of a curve. The power-hitting shortstop finished 2024 on fire (.888 OPS over his final 55 games) but it's the opposite trend to close 2025. That said, he cut his strikeout rate from 30.7 percent in 2024 to 21.4 percent in 2025 while keeping his walk rate steady at 10 percent. Nimmala's stock is down after this summerlong slump, but he still has a chance to be Toronto's shortstop of the future. The only other players 19 and under to hit 13-plus home runs with double-digit steals and a strikeout rate under 25 percent this season are Konnor Griffin, Eduardo Quintero, Edward Florentino, Sebastian Walcott and Colt Emerson.

Flashing power for Vancouver Nimmala went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored for High-A Vancouver on Sunday.

Impact It was the 19-year-old's third straight game leaving the yard. Nimmala has taken a big step forward at the plate to begin the campaign, slashing .289/.349/.539 through 18 games and reducing his strikeout rate from 31.8 percent in 2024 to 21.7 percent through his first 83 plate appearances this season. Despite his age, the Blue Jays will have to consider a promotion to Double-A for Nimmala at some point this summer if he continues to thrive against Northwest League pitchers.

Catching fire at Single-A Nimmala has gone 11-for-39 over his last nine games for Single-A Dunedin with five home runs and 13 RBI.

Impact He doesn't turn 19 until October, but Nimmala is beginning to develop the power the Jays were hoping for when they selected him 20th overall in the 2023 Draft. The shortstop had a rough start to his first year of full-season ball, but since returning from a stint in the FCL to get his confidence back, Nimmala is slashing .257/.341/.629 in 28 games for Dunedin with six doubles, three triples and nine homers, albeit with a 31.7 percent strikeout rate.
