MLB Draft profile: Arizona RHP Kevin Ginkel found his stride in second half for Wildcats

One adjustment turned this guy's one year at Arizona around in a big way

In the prior two summers before coming to Tucson, Kevin Ginkel had his name called in the MLB Draft. In 2014, it was in the 16th round by the San Francisco Giants. In 2015, it was in the 26th round by the Boston Red Sox.

But each time, he elected to play college ball instead.

In November of 2014, Ginkel actually committed to Nevada to play for current Arizona head coach Jay Johnson. But he wound up playing the 2015 season at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA.
