2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ginkel pitched more innings in the minors (30.2 innings) than the majors (29.1) in 2022, but the D'Backs called him up in August and he spent the remainder of the season pitching for Arizona. The right-hander averaged a career-best 96.4 mph on his fastball, while his slider was effective in generating whiffs (44.3%) and producing strikeouts. His K-rate was in line with prior season outputs and he induced ground balls at a career-high rate at 48.8%. Ginkel is an NL-only and deeper mixed league spec for saves, as he tallied nine in the minors last year and recorded a save for Arizona on the final day of the season, but he'll need to limit his walks (3.4 BB/9) to be considered for more chances.

No earned runs allowed
Ginkel retired the two batters he faced in Friday's spring game against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Ginkel has not allowed an earned run over five Cactus League outings (4.2 innings). The right-hander could be moving into the pole position to become Arizona's closer, given Mark Melancon's results this spring (16.88 ERA). Andrew Chafin (groin) and Joe Mantiply are also in the mix for saves.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Ginkel's outlook appeared bright entering 2020 following a dominating run through the minors and an outstanding rookie campaign during which he racked up nine holds and registered a 1.48 ERA. He struggled at the outset of last season but appeared to find his groove between Aug. 15 and Aug. 30, allowing only one earned run over eight appearances. Consequently, the right-hander was given the first save chance after Archie Bradley was traded to Cincinnati, but be blew the opportunity and was shipped to the team's alternate training site less than two weeks later. Ginkel's struggles can largely be attributed to poor control, as evidenced by his ugly 16.5 BB% last season. His strikeout rate also dropped more than six points to 22.8% while opposing batters took him deep three times in 16 innings. He should return to the big-league bullpen next season, but the opportunity to close may have passed him by.
