Zimmerman spend most of the season in a reserve role, starting a couple times a week. He was typically effective against lefthanders, slashing .291/.319/.582 with the platoon edge. He continued to struggle facing righties with a .207/.261/.386 line. Zimmerman's 28.2% strikeout rate and 5.9%walk rate were both career worsts. He was rescued by a 23.3% HR/FB mark, the second best of his career. Zimmerman is slated to embark on his age-38 season. While the universal designated hitter could extend his career on the lesser side of a platoon, his skills are waning. If his exposure to righthanded pitching is limited, Zimmerman could have some utility in single league formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Plans to keep playing
Zimmerman said Wednesday in an appearance on 106.7 FM The Fan Washington that he hopes to continue his playing career in 2022. "I still definitely am planning on playing but we'll see what happens," Zimmerman said. "No decisions either way yet."
ANALYSIS
Based on his comments, Zimmerman is seemingly waiting to see what kind of interest he draws in free agency this winter before determining whether to keep playing or call an end to his career. The 37-year-old presumably prefers to remain with Washington, but it's unclear if the Nationals are looking to bring Zimmerman for a 17th season with the organization. While serving mostly as a short-side platoon mate at first base with Josh Bell in 2021, Zimmerman appeared in 110 games and hit .243 with 14 home runs and 46 RBI.
