10. Maui Ahuna, SS, Tennessee – A smooth left-handed swing that looks like a slap approach but can drive the ball all over the yard, Ahuna is a unique prospect and will get plenty of attention now that he is with Tennessee rather than Kansas. He is a guy who is not afraid to lay down a bunt for a hit, or go no doubter to center. There is some hip load and the swing can get long and lofty, but the bat head is quick and he does use the whole field. In the field, he is very athletic although sticking at short may be a bit of a longshot. A future move to center or second base are probably more likely, but that doesn’t reduce the value much for me.

Maui Ahuna

Tennessee

Ahuna, a Kansas transfer, tormented the Big 12 before transferring to Tennessee. He's an average hitter, maybe a tick better with streaky swing-and-miss concerns and sneaky pop at the plate. He plays a strong shortstop at the college level, though most project just an average defender at the next level with his range and footwork. Ahuna has a smattering of average tools across the board and a track record of performing in big conferences.
