Maui Ahuna

Maui Ahuna is a name I keep an eye on. Born in 2002 in Hilo, Hawaii, he played college ball at Kansas and Tennessee, hitting .312 in his season with the Volunteers, before the San Francisco Giants took him in the fourth round of the 2023 draft. He is a young shortstop still building his professional body of work. What strikes me is the romance of catching someone early, before the highlight reels and the awards. I would rather be the editor who flagged a rising name than the one who only celebrated finished legends. So I am happy to leave space here and quietly root for him to grow into it.
