TRACK RECORD: Jimenez signed with the Blue Jays in 2015 and he slowly wound his way through the system. He's pitched mostly in relief, and has racked up a career mark of 11.7 strikeouts per nine innings against 3.2 walks per nine. The Giants selected him in the major league phase of the 2019 Rule 5 draft.
SCOUTING REPORT: Jimenez was impressive in 2019 between high Class A Dunedin and Double-A New Hampshire. As would be expected from a reliever with those kinds of strikeout numbers, Jimenez can bring the heat. His fastball sits in the high-90s and shows armside run. He backs it up with a potentially plus slider and a low-80s changeup that has come on as well. Even with just a half-season of upper-level minor league experience, Jimenez has the kind of power arsenal that fits in a big league bullpen.
THE FUTURE: As a Rule 5 pick, Jimenez has to stay on the Giants' big league roster all year. So he'll get every chance to stick in their bullpen.
