SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Christmas came early for a group of D-backs players on Tuesday morning with the arrival of the Wilson representatives, who delivered their yearly order of fielding gloves.
"This is the same glove I've been using for many years now. I just like the smaller glove for the infield," said Nick Ahmed, a slick fielding shortstop who's coming off 2016 season-ending surgery on his right hip. "I tried the bigger glove, and I just didn't like it as much. I love the I-Web. The tan leather seems to hold up better. It's sturdier. This is the glove I've been going with, and I hope it keeps working for me.
