Brandon Nimmo

Former Cheyenne Post 6 star and current New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is taking part in a video game tournament for charity this weekend.

Watch Wyoming's own former Post 6 Baseball standout Brandon Nimmo make his first ever professional baseball home run July 1, 2016.

Five years after being drafted out of Wyoming American Legion Baseball, a Cheyenne East grad has received the call to play in the Big Leagues.

He's working his way up the ladder.

He is considered a part of their future...and in the near future, he'll play on the their field, and in the far future, he hopes to play on their field more often with the big boys.

This time last year, Brandon Nimmo was still playing for Cheyenne Post 6, and the New York Mets were still trying to get him to sign to a deal.
