Scouting report
He had a significant power production increase last year but McKinstry's big league role is likely tied to his defensive versatility and excellence, especially at second base, where he's a plus defender. As such, he's an internal candidate to assume Kiké Hernandez's role as a multi-positional defensive replacement who occasionally hits for A.J. Pollock and Chris Taylor. His arm is a little light to play shortstop consistently, and the pop for an everyday hitting role likely isn't there, but McKinstry is a major league-ready, high-probability role player.
