My Take

Nick Ahmed is a defensive artist, and as someone who values glovework, I have always loved watching him play shortstop. Those back-to-back Gold Gloves in 2018 and 2019 were richly deserved, with the kind of range, footwork, and arm strength that turns sure hits into routine outs. His bat was never the headline, but elite defense up the middle wins games quietly. As a longtime Diamondback he was a steadying presence in the infield for years. He is the type of fundamentally sound player coaches dream about, and UConn should be proud.

Overview

Nick Ahmed (born March 15, 1990) is an American professional baseball shortstop. After playing college baseball at the University of Connecticut, he reached the major leagues with the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he spent most of his career and earned a reputation as one of the game's premier defensive shortstops, winning two Gold Glove Awards (2018 and 2019).
