| Summary: An athletic defender with silky actions and advanced body control, Ahuna brings quick hands and a plus arm that fit seamlessly at shortstop. His instincts in the field stand out, with legitimate range and soft hands that allow him to make plays look easy, continuing to impress on the biggest stages. The glove gives him a steady floor and keeps him in the lineup even as the bat remains a work in progress. At the plate, Ahuna shows flashes of real pop with bat speed and quick wrists, capable of lifting balls out to any part of the field. However, the swing can get long and uphill, leading to rollovers and whiff issues against spin and offspeed. His approach has varied—at times showing bat control and opposite-field doubles, at others falling into a slap style or chasing pull power. He’s a plus runner with a quick first step, though that speed has yet to consistently translate into baserunning impact. Injuries, including a back stress reaction and Tommy John surgery, have slowed his development, leaving his health and offensive adjustments as the key to unlocking more than a glove-first utility profile. | |||||||||||
