Zach McKinstry: A Student of the Game

the game of baseball. What influence did his brother have on him? How did being "the

dirtiest kid of the field” translate to his mentality playing baseball today? How does the

importance of the mental side of the game translate into what McKinstry and this Tigers

team have done this season? Hear about McKinstry (as well as Jason and Dan’s) daredevil
