My Take
I have a soft spot for utility players, and Zach McKinstry is exactly the kind of grinder I root for. A guy from Toledo who came up through Central Michigan and bounced between the Dodgers, Cubs, and Tigers is not handed anything; he earns his spot by being useful everywhere. That is why his first All-Star selection in 2025 moves me so much. It is the payoff for years of quiet, unglamorous reliability. I will always prefer this brand of baseball, the kind built on patience and versatility, over the flashier stars.
