Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. The Ottawa Milk Men hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is only fair. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Kimmich is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kimmich has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Ottawa Milk Men were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. AA isn't the right place for Kimmich. Expect the Ottawa Milk Men to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Ottawa Milk Men are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
