The shortstop position has been a bit of a revolving door for the D-back, after the end of the full-time Stephen Drew era in 2010. During the six seasons since then, the most regular player was Nick Ahmed in 2015, who had 116 starts. But as context, over that time, 113 MLB shortstops made more starts than Ahmed’s best season - an average of 19 per year. The only others for Arizona to cross even the 50% level in the same period were Didi Gregorius (97 in 2013) and Drew’s 83 starts in 2011, before he broke his ankle sliding into home plate.
