Overview
The younger brother of Royals prospect Kyle Zimmer, a right-hander selected fifth overall in 2012, Bradley was named to the All-West Coast Conference Team for a second consecutive season in 2014 after posting a 1.034 OPS through 54 contests. The lithe, lean outfielder is an above-average runner with a plus arm, though scouts are torn over his future role in professional baseball. Zimmer has yet to exhibit much in-game power, which may undermine his value in a corner outfield spot if he's unable to handle center field as a professional.
