2020 Arizona Diamondbacks Reviews: #10 Nick Ahmed

Nick Ahmed joined the Diamondbacks organization way back in 2013 as part of the trade that sent Justin Upton and Chris Johnson to Atlanta. He is also the only player from all those involved in the trade to still be playing with the team which traded for him. In fact, other than Justin Upton, who is playing alongside Mike Trout in Los Angeles, he is the only one still in baseball (though Brandon Drury is a free agent). Ahmed made his debut one season after being acquired, when he beat out Chris Owings and Didi Gregorius for the job of primary shortstop, based almost exclusively on his acumen with his glove.
