2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lingering shoulder discomfort delayed Ahmed's 2022 debut for a couple of weeks. While on the COVID-19 list in late May, Ahmed experienced more shoulder soreness and was ultimately shut down followed by season-ending surgery. Ahmed was more productive than the prior year in the 17 games he played, but it's a small sample. Geraldo Perdomo took over at shortstop for Ahmed, but he finished with a .547 OPS so the two should battle for the job in the spring. Even if he prevails, Ahmed's production doesn't move the mixed league needle. He's best suited for NL-only formats. Read Past Outlooks

Makes spring debut
Ahmed went 1-for-3 in Monday's spring game against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Ahmed made his Cactus League debut after missing a week due to forearm tightness. He struck out in his first two plate appearances before singling his third time through. His return to game action kicks off shortstop watch in camp. Ahmed, who turns 33 next week, and the 23-year-old Geraldo Perdomo will share the position, though it's unclear how the playing time will be divided.

How does Nick Ahmed compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Ahmed possessed a smattering of fantasy value in 2018 and 2019 when he had some surprising power with a handful of steals. Arizona since added a humidor and Ahmed's offensive production has evaporated like a puddle on the Phoenix sidewalk in the summer. His above-average defensive abilities keep him in the lineup, albeit at the bottom of it, on a regular basis. He is truly only rosterable in the deepest of leagues such as 50 round draft and holds where you need to have depth at every position. Even then, he is a fourth option at shortstop. Rey Ordonez and Alcides Escobar applaud the profile, but no one else does.
