Nick Ahmed expected to be Diamondbacks' starting shortstop
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Nick Ahmed is expected to start the season as the club's starting shortstop.
What It Means:
Ahmed and Ketel Marte (at second base) seem to be locked in to be the starting middle infield with Chris Owings playing more of a super-utility role for the Diamondbacks. Ahmed started 41 games for Arizona in 2017 before fracturing his hand in late June.
Ahmed batted .251 with a .300 wOBA, 6 home runs, 24 runs scored, and 21 RBI in 178 plate appearances in 2017.
