Blue Jays prospect Arjun Nimmala displaying improved power in High-A

Nimmala's success with raw power

Considering that Nimmala shed a lot of weight last season, his focus was to bulk up his 6-foot-1 frame. The muscle he gained has helped him to generate more power. 

But aside from that, he's made significant adjustments to his swing and batting approach. By refining his swing, he's been able to hit the ball across all areas of the field. 

In addition, he's worked on improving his posture and landing position to optimize his power. However, he's also produced more reliable contact by adjusting his long swing, which has helped amplify his offensive output. 

He's also worked on being more selective with his pitches, which led to 8 walks while striking out 13 times across his first 11 games. 

Nimmala has demonstrated how his refined frame has delivered top-tier power. The home run he hit against the Hillsboro Hops displayed high exit velocities of 109 mph and was the farthest home run (437 feet) he's hit in his professional career. 

He's found his groove in High-A, and with the way he's performing, he could move up to Double-A New Hampshire by summer.
