The Arizona Diamondbacks are counting on Kevin Ginkel, their standout reliever, as they head into the playoffs. Ginkel had a stellar 2023 season with a 2.48 ERA but has faced challenges in 2024, particularly in September where he posted a troubling 9.82 ERA.
Despite the struggles, Ginkel has maintained strong command and a career-low walk rate, showing resilience and confidence. Manager Torey Lovullo supports him, emphasizing the importance of his mental game and ability to deliver in high-pressure situations. The Diamondbacks will rely on Ginkel's talent and stability as they aim for postseason success.
