Arizona Diamondbacks Reviews, #25: Nick Ahmed

Nick Ahmed should need little or no introduction at this point. From the current roster, only David Peralta has a longer tenure with the Diamondbacks. Ahmed was acquired as a AA shortstop by the Diamondbacks in the deal which sent Justin Upton to the Atlanta Braves back in January of 2013. Ahmed then made his MLB debut on 29 June 2014. Every season from 2015-2017, Ahmed entered Spring Training fighting for a spot on the roster. His glove and work ethic simply refused to be denied, and he won the position outright in each of those seasons, despite an anemic bat.
