Joins Dodgers on minor-league deal
Zimmer agreed to a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Zimmer will presumably be with the big leaguers in spring training, at least to begin camp. He would seem to be a long shot to make the team, though he remains viable as an outfield reserve thanks to his speed and defense. Now 30, Zimmer has struck out in more than one-third of his 975 major-league plate appearances to date while slugging .333 across 372 games.

Stat Review
How does Bradley Zimmer compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

While Zimmer has the power-speed combination to be helpful in roto leagues, he's not a good enough hitter to be valuable in points league. Also, he was only getting playing time because the Cleveland outfield was so atrocious last season. He has just a .658 OPS for his career. It was .669 in 2021. He has several ways he could improve. The career 33.3 K% could come down. A 48.3 GB% limits his home-run upside, although he does hit the ball hard when he makes contact (avgEV in the 75th percentile). And then there are the stolen bases. His sprint speed is in the 97th percentile and he was 15-for-18 on the basepaths last season. It's a part of his game that can't be ignored. If he were able to drop the strikeout rate down to the 25% level and secure a full-time job, he could be viable in the category game. Monitor closely in spring training for any talent change.
