Jimenez turned on his pitch and it was a no-doubter over the left field wall with an emphatic flip of the bat! Give him a pair of hits on the afternoon and 4 RBIs out of the leadoff spot! Great bat and glove skills! pic.twitter.com/9eQPclxDZF

Jimenez has gained strength and athleticism and is poised for a breakout season in 2026. The Georgia native transferred to Charlotte this past summer after leading VCU in batting average as a true freshman in 2025. With a strong group of returners and transfer portal prospects, headlined by Jimenez, Charlotte looks like an early favorite to compete for the American Conference championship this spring.
