Former Arizona Wildcats right-hander Kevin Ginkel, who is putting up ridiculous numbers in the minor leagues, is being called up by the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com.
This will be Ginkel’s first time in the big leagues. The 25-year-old has split the 2019 season between Double-A Jackson and Triple-A Reno. All together, he has a 1.78 ERA in 35.1 innings. The most impressive stat is that he has struck out 63 batters this season, giving him a strikeout rate of 16.0 Ks per nine innings. He had been serving as Reno’s closer.
