Pimentel went on from that Cal State Los Angeles team to turn pro the next year. His pro career lasted two seasons. He made high-A.
Pimentel's career began in 1989, signed as an undrafted free agent out of Cal State Los Angeles. Pimentel was also credited as Edward Pimentel and Eddie Pimentel.
Pimentel went to Cal State Los Angeles out of Orange Coast College. He went 4 for 6 in a February 1985 game there.
At Cal State Los Angeles, Pimentel hit a home run in a March 1988 contest.
He then started his pro career at co-op Salinas. He got into 43 games and hit .219. He hit a three-run home run in an August game, his only home run on the year. He then picked up two hits in another game that month.
Pimentel moved to the Yankees at high-A Fort Lauderdale for 1990. He hit a two-run double in a May game. He then knocked in a run, singled, stole a base and scored in a July game.
In all, Pimentel hit .192 over 115 games that year with Fort Lauderdale. That season marked his last as a pro.
