Kevin Ginkel’s story was a terrific story in 2019. In 2018 he all of a sudden got everyone’s attention in the minors, racking up strikeouts for Visalia and Jackson (A+ and AA). In 2019 he continued that trend in Jackson and, especially, in Reno (AAA). Once he made his MLB debut, he continued to impress.
Those days seem long gone in 2021. In 2020 he was a disaster in a shortened season and this season he has had some severe ups and downs. He started well, in his first 9 games, and then gave up multiple runs. That has led to some despair on the SnakePit.
