Last scored matchup

Jimmy isn't on today's slate. He was last scored 6 days ago, at home against Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, August 30, 2026, where he landed on doubles (35.4/100), total bases (24.1/100), home runs (22.9/100). This page refreshes with new projections as soon as he's back in a lineup.

Recent form

Jimmy is 5-for-24 (.208) over his last 10 games, in line with his .157 season line. No hot streak to fade, no slump to buy — the matchup is doing the work in his score, which is the normal case. The full game log is below.

What kind of hitter he is

Jimmy strikes out a lot — 47 strikeouts in 127 at-bats, roughly 37%. That cuts both ways in our numbers. It drags his floor on the hits board, since he needs contact to get there. But it barely dents the power boards, where one swing settles it — he's got 4 homers. Against a high-strikeout arm his score will fall further than a contact hitter's would.

He's a left-handed bat

Jimmy hits from the left side, and that's the first thing the model looks at. Left-handed hitters see right-handed pitching most nights, which is the favourable side — so a lefty bat's baseline is set against righties, and drawing a left-handed starter is a genuine downgrade rather than a rounding error. When you see his score fall on a day he's still in the lineup, an opposing lefty is usually why. Handedness also shapes the park read: pull-side geometry matters more for a left-handed swing than the raw park factor suggests.

Floor and ceiling

Jimmy has recorded at least one hit in 18 of 47 games he's batted in — 38% — with 2 multi-hit games among them. That's a boom-or-bust profile. He'll carry a game outright and then go quiet for three, so his hits-board score tends to sit below hitters with worse power and better contact.

Home and away

Jimmy is hitting .119 at home (7-for-59) and .191 on the road (13-for-68) across the season. That's a real-looking split, and it's the kind of thing that's usually part park and part noise. The model doesn't apply a blanket home-road adjustment — it prices the actual ballpark he's standing in, which is the part that carries signal.

No graded record on him yet

We haven't ranked Jimmy a top-20 hitter matchup often enough this season to have a record worth publishing — 1 time so far. He's appeared in 49 graded games, so the log below is real; there just isn't a track record on our calls to show. It'll build here if the matchups start landing his way.

Where he lands across our boards

Jimmy was scored on 12 boards in that matchup, and the spread is the interesting part: doubles graded 35.4/100 while h+r+rbi came in at 0/100. Same player, same game, same opposing arm — different questions. A spread that wide usually means the matchup favours one kind of outcome over another, and it's the clearest argument for reading the board that matches what you actually care about.

How the model reads him

Jimmy's score rates the spot in front of him, not the name on the jersey. It weighs his rates against the kind of arm he's facing — handedness matters a lot — set against what that pitcher and his bullpen give up, then adjusts for expected playing time, park, weather, and recent form, normalized 0–100 across the slate. The weighting is proprietary and re-tuned weekly; the grading is public, and that's the half that proves anything.

What we'd flag

Books don't price every player — coverage tops out around 87% even for confirmed starters, so "no line" here usually means no book posted one rather than a gap in our data. Lineups change late, and an afternoon projection can be stale by first pitch. And the model is tuned across hundreds of graded outcomes, so one game tells you nothing about whether it's working. For Jimmy specifically, we don't have a meaningful graded record on him yet.
