Aiva Arquette is a junior at Oregon State and transferred to OSU following an impressive sophomore campaign for the University of Washington in which he posted a .325/.384/.574 slash line for the Huskies. Arquette was actually an 18th round pick out of high school by the Arizona Diamondbacks, but opted to play in college.

Arquette is one of the better all-around talents in this year’s draft as there isn’t much weakness in any area for the middle infielder. The hit tool and raw power are both plus tools and have also seemed to play up a bit thus far in 2025 as Arquette has already hit three home runs in his 34 plate appearances and has gotten on base at a .559 clip. He hits the ball hard consistently to all fields and limits strikeouts as he has a 16.7 K% since the start of 2024. Similarly to Laviolette, Arquette is a very physical athlete which makes generating power come pretty naturally.

While he played the majority of his games defensively at second base in 2024, Arquette has the makings of a shortstop at the next level. He would certainly be one of the tallest shortstops in professional baseball, but has the range and arm to stick around. He played shortstop in 22 of his 31 games in the Cape Cod League last summer, and has exclusively played shortstop thus far in 2025, seven games into the season. It’s a 55 grade glove and a 60 grade arm.

He isn’t special on the bases by any means as he has only stole 15 bases at the collegiate level, but he’s also not a liability on the bases either. You would hope for some more speed from your shortstop, but the bat does enough on its own.
