Ahmed is hitting .429 (18-for-42) with one home run, eight runs scored and 11 RBI this spring.

Ahmed started 116 games at short for the Diamondbacks last year, but his grip on the position seemed to slip with the team's offseason acquisition of Jean Segura. However, manager Chip Hale said Ahmed would compete for time, and his strong spring play is helping his cause. Ahmed hit just .226 with an anemic .275 on-base percentage in 2015, but he is considered a plus defender.
