8/6 3:00 AM Kevin Ginkel (P-AZ) Former Wildcat is now on MLB's IL List. In 2023, the Arizona Diamondbacks made an improbable run to the World Series despite being an 84-win team and barely sneaking into the postseason. The Diamondbacks pulled off upsets over the Brewers, The Dodgers and the Phillies to get to the game's biggest stage. During that run in the postseason, former Arizona Wildcats pitcher Kevin Ginkel played a critical role in a bullpen that caught fire at the right time and helped carry the team to the World Series. It might go down as the best postseason performance from a relief pitcher in Diamondbacks history.
