Aiva Arquette in 200 Words

     I first read about Arquette in a baseball magazine and thought he would be a cool topic for a 200-word post. Aiva John Uakea Arquette was born on October 17th, 2003 in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he played both baseball and basketball, and was named the 2022 Hawaii Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year. It turns out he found his calling in baseball however, a sport in which his 6-foot 5-inch frame stands out. Arquette was drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 18th round of the 2022 June Amateur Draft, but opted to play in college instead. He played ball at a few colleges, the most notable of which being with the Oregon State Beavers earlier this year, where in 65 games, Arquette batted .354 with 90 hits, 19 home runs, 66 RBI and 73 runs. Arquette is also an impressive fielder who sports elite range at the shortstop position and a cannon of an arm. He was drafted 7th overall in the 2025 draft by the Miami Marlins, and has played 27 games at High-A for the team thus far. His career is still very young, but Aiva Arquette is definitely a guy to be watching in the near future.
