The Central Michigan baseball team endured multiple losses to its roster this offseason, including the loss of sophomore shortstop Zach McKinstry.
McKinstry signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers after being selected in the 33rd round last June. The 21-year-old said he thought it was best for his baseball career to leave school and take the deal.
McKinstry's professional career began with the Dodgers in the Arizona League, but was he called up to the franchise's Single-A affiliate, the Great Lakes Loons in Midland.
