Cleveland Baseball Club outfielder Bradley Zimmer is making the most of what may have been his last chance to make an impact in Cleveland.
This season was going to be make or break year for Bradley Zimmer in Cleveland. Zimmer has only appeared in 43 games over the past two seasons and Cleveland has added several outfielders into the mix which could have been the end of his time with the club. A resurgent Zimmer with his new batting stance and a productive summer camp has perhaps given him a second chance.
Bradley Zimmer went 2-3 in Monday’s exhibition with Pittsburgh which saw Cleveland win by a score of 11-7. Zimmer drove in a run during the 4th inning after doubling and scoring earlier in the game.
It is worth mentioning that this is not a one off performance from Zimmer. The former first round selection has been on a power tear during this restart, blasting two home runs in a scrimmage just. a few days ago.
There is one more exhibition game between Cleveland and Pittsburgh before the season starts and Bradley Zimmer has definitely earned some playing time. Exactly how much that is the mystery. If Zimmer can keep up the production at the plate, he could play a prominent role this season. The key for Zimmer will be to avoid a slump and this goes without saying, the injury bug. If that happens it could be quite the comeback story for Bradley Zimmer in Cleveland.
