Dodgers Most Improved Minor Leaguer for 2019
Who is your favorite minor league player in the Dodger pipeline? I suppose we shouldn’t have favorites as every player has the same goal and is doing all he can to reach the highest level he can, hopefully, MLB. I have a lot of players I follow but I expect my number one favorite is Zach McKinstry. I also expect my perception of Zach is out of the mainstream and has been strongly influenced with his arrival in Great Lakes in the summer of 2016. He was a surprise arrival and did not set the world on fire but played a pivotal role in the Loons unlikely 2016 league championship run. The absolute highlight of that year was the grand slam by Omar Estevez on August 11 against the Lake County Captains. The Loons had gone into the bottom of the ninth inning down 10-4 and in extra-innings emerged with an 11-10 victory. From then on there was no stopping the Great Lakes squad.
