To make way for the arrival of the team’s top prospect, the Diamondbacks have designated for assignment Nick Ahmed. This is quite a moment, because he was the longest serving player on the team, having made his debut for Arizona on June 29th, 2014. He is the only man to have appeared in ten different seasons as a Diamondback, surpassing the mark set by David Peralta and Miguel Montero. He ends at #5 on the franchise all-time list for games played, with 888. His overall batting line is nothing special: he hit .234/.288/.376 for a .664 OPS, which is an OPS+ of just 75.
