Dimmel generally saw action as a defensive replacement or pinch runner, going 0-8 at the plate with a stolen base and eight runs scored as a September call-up.
Over the next two seasons he’d see even less time on a Major League field, getting into eight and six games respectively in 1978 and 1979, though he did pick up his sole MLB hit in 1979 when he went 1-for-3 with a run scored.
He’d play out the last two seasons of pro ball with the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees minor league systems, before leaving the game for good as a player after the 1980 season.
All told, he appeared in 39 games, going 1-for-8 with eleven runs scored while filling in all three outfield spots, in his brief career.
