Wake Up With Some Of Nolan Arenado's Best Defensive Plays From His Career

Here is a fun fact for you, Nolan Arenado has been spent 6 seasons in Major League Baseball. Here's another fun fact, Arenado has 6 Gold Gloves. Not a bad GG to season ratio. Arenado is a god damn WIZARD with the leather, and is by far the best defensive third baseman we have seen in some while.

He can make all the plays, charging in, barehand, going back, headed towards and over the foul line. He does it all. Rocket arm, he bounces it on purpose sometimes to make the play easier for his first baseman, he's insanely fun to watch. When Josh Donaldson was healthy, Kris Bryant was healthy, and Manny Machado was at third, it was insanely hard to pick which one of them was the best overall third baseman, but now it's clear as day. Arenado is THE guy at the hot corner, and shows no sign of slowing down. His offensive numbers are still fantastic, he's an MVP finalist for a team coming off of a playoff appearance and is due to get paiddddddd.

He's really turned into one of the best players in baseball, not just best defensive guys. He's one of my favorite players to watch and is on pace for a Hall Of Fame career if he can continue his defensive play coupled with his offensive numbers. Is it possible he'll be able to recreate the famous Brooks Robinson picture?

 

In order to match Brooks, Nolan would need another 10 Gold Gloves. Only 15 are pictured above, but Brooks won himself 16 in his 23 seasons. In fact, he won those 16 Gold Gloves in 16 consecutive seasons, insane. Good luck on that one, Nolan.
