Zach McKinstry Shows Speed and Precision Against Royals

Zach McKinstry went 2-for-5 in the Tigers' narrow 7-6 victory over the Royals, featuring a double, a triple, one run scored, and a stolen base.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the multi-hit game, McKinstry's season batting average remains a modest .225, reflecting a year filled with ups and downs. His ability to mix in extra-base hits and stolen bases, as seen in this game, provides some fantasy value, particularly in deeper leagues or formats that reward diverse statistical contributions. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate limit his appeal in points leagues that penalize for strikeouts. Fantasy managers should consider McKinstry a situational player, best utilized when matchups favor his skill set.
