Nolan Arenado is one of the league’s most prominent budding stars. For years now Arenado has ranked among the best players in the league in every major statistical category.

Arenado is a complete player. Loaded with a powerful bat and jaw-dropping defensive skills, his ability to dominate just about every aspect of the game is what separates him from all the other third basemen in the league.

On Tuesday night, Arenado’s defensive versatility took center stage. With one out in the top of the 7th with a runner on first, Ryan Zimmerman hit a chopper down the left field line, and then this happened:

This play is truly a spectacle. The range, control, and strength Arenado demonstrates is near flawless, resulting in an out to end the inning to get the Rockies out of a jam.

After the game, manager Bud Black had some nice things to say about his All-Star third basemen.

“Great play,” Black said. “I mean I don’t know whether you come to expect these types of plays from Nolan, maybe you do. …He’s the best defensive third basemen in the game.”

The praise is well deserved to the four-time Gold Glove winner and the two-time Silver Slugger awardee.

Arenado is off to a great start this year at the plate as well, hitting .325 with six home runs and 14 RBIs.
