Jimenez has been named a Baseball America 2016 First-Team All-Star. He totaled 30 saves with 78 strikeouts in 53.2 innings across three levels.
Jimenez wasn't called up when rosters expanded despite climbing from Class A to Double-A to Triple-A this season. Instead, the team wants him to work on his secondary pitches in instructional league. Jimenez's fastball has been described as "unbelievable," but his changeup and slider are considered just okay. The hope is that instructional league will help him find some consistency as he tries to explode his game to the next level.
