Nick Ahmed never played with the team that drafted him, the Atlanta Braves, as he was dealt as a prospect to the Arizona Diamondbacks, which to date is the only pro team he has ever played for.

Ahmed first made the D-Backs in 2014, appearing in 24 Games, and he would win the starting Shortstop role the following year, although injuries prevented him from showing off what he could do in a full season from 2015-17.  This changed in 2018, when he was healthy, and his defensive skills were on full display: he won his first Gold Glove and led the National League in Defensive bWAR.  Ahmed won the Gold Glove again in 2019, with a fifth-place finish in Defensive bWAR. 

Ahmed was not known for his hitting, and his career Batting Average is only .234, and he has an On Base Percentage below .300.  He had two straight years of at least 16 Home Runs (2018 & 2019), so the Shortstop did have some value with his bat, though it is his glove that kept him in the dance.   At least it did until September 9, 2023, when his diminished skills led to his release.  Sadly, this meant that the first player to log ten years with the team was not there for their playoff run.

Overall, Ahmed had 678 Hits and a Defensive bWAR of 12.4.

Whit Merrifield helped the University of South Carolina win the 2010 College World Series, and the Kansas City Royals would draft him in the Ninth Round that year.

Gil McDougald would play all ten of his seasons in the Majors with the New York Yankees, where his defensive versatility would be his calling card.

Yovani Gallardo played the first eight years of his career with the Milwaukee Brewers, where the last six of which saw him a decent starter in the National League.  Gallardo was an All-Star and Silver Slugger in 2010, and in 2011, he had a record of 17-10 and was seventh in Cy Young Voting.  From 2009 to 2012, he would fan at least 200 batters.
