Over the past few seasons Chris Taylor and Kiké Hernandez combined to provide the Los Angeles Dodgers with a wealth of versatility and in some sense revamped the utility role. Now, Taylor shares that responsibility with Zach McKinstry.
Hernandez departed via free agency in search of an everyday role at one position, which created an opportunity for McKinstry. He has been on the rise since 2019 and continued to impress in every opportunity with the Dodgers thus far.
“He’s been great. The biggest thing is he’s having fun out there. He’s playing with energy, he’s making big plays in the outfield,” Taylor said of McKinstry.
