When speaking on his 2024 season, Gimenez stated that he is working hard on not chasing pitches outside the zone which caused his offensive struggles in 2024 and it looks like he is focusing on that this off-season.
Andrés Giménez (via interpreter) says he is working on chasing fewer pitches outside the zone, which he feels hurt him in 2024 and led to a down year offensively.
