Nolan Arenado Career Highlights: Here's why he got that record extension

[@williamk6136]

He's won a Gold Glove every year he has played, Platinum twice. That impresses me the most. It's Incredible.

[@whosSarge]

and his fielding in the show is still an 80 like wtf lol

[@williamk6136]

@@whosSarge Idk what scale they use in the video games today, but the MLB scouts use a scale of 20-80 to rate the tools of the players, 80 being the best. So maybe the game mimics that now.

Nolan arenado is the definition of making these EXTREMELY tough plays look routine. Might go down as the greatest 3B of all time.

[@yuckydude]

Such an awesome day to be a baseball fan in Denver! Can't believe he chose to stay here, a mid-sized market where most locals don't really follow the baseball team. Denver is about 90% Broncos and 10% the other three teams. The irony right now is that even though the Broncos won the Superbowl 2 years ago, since then they have been the worst big league team in town. I hope this helps more folks become baseball fans around here. I know several of the guys at my office were ecstatic today when one of the crew told everyone about his new contract, me especially. He is absolutely a generational talent. Being at the ballpark and watching him at third is like being in the mountains and watching predator animals, an eagle or mountain lion, stalking and ready to attack and then pouncing to destroy their prey. He makes it look so easy and natural. If you're a batter in the MLB, the last place you want to hit that ball is to the left side of the infield vs the Colorado Rockies. PS Thank you to the MLB channel for posting this video today! Very timely!

Yeah, I’m well aware he’s a multiple time golden glove winner, and I actually never disputed that fact. I’m saying the reason he stayed in Colorado is because it’s ideal for him as a hitter. Him being a good defender is pretty irrelevant. Most guys who bat well wanna play in a hitters park . He’s going to be a good defender regardless of the team he stays with. I’m not going to blame you, by the looks of it you’re a Red Sox fan so it makes sense why you’re a douchebag and also slow.
