Growing up in AZ, I used to feel the same way about him lol, especially during his tenure with LA, but once he came to the Dbacks I had begun to warm up to him. I am an Astros fan and was still warming up to him when he was traded to the team. My turning point as a fan of his was on September 25, 2019 when he threw his near no-hitter against the Mariners. I was mesmerized by his performance. I also learned about his struggles with anxiety during the broadcast and living in a household that shows compassion and is accepting towards all, I began to change my views about Zack. All the while I was quietly struggling with anxiety myself (although I didn't know what it was at the time) and had been for about four years. During lockdown last year, I finally told the people closest to me and got an answer as to what it was that I had been dealing with. So, Zack has gone from one of my least favorite players to possibly my favorite pitcher that I've had the pleasure to watch as a fan!

Sports are funny like that.
