Career Transactions
Signed as nondrafted free agent by Tigers, June 24, 2013.
Background
Teams whiffed on Jimenez as he went undrafted out of the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy in 2013 and signed with the Tigers as a nondrafted free agent.
What to Watch For
His fastball ranges from the mid-to-upper 90s and plays even faster because he generates excellent extension.
