Nolan Arenado has won four Gold Gloves, this list could easily be filled with 50 plays and if you go down the Arenado highlight rabbit hole you won’t be disappointed. Here are our top ten plays made by the Colorado Rockies superstar third baseman.

No. 10: The Short Hop Barehand

To barehand a short hop is incredible, I have no idea how he did this.

No. 9: The I learned This From You

David Wright was Nolan Arenado before Nolan Arenado became Nolan Arenado. Wright got a little taste of his own medicine.

No. 8: The Teaching Kris Bryant A Lesson

A better third baseman makes that play? A better third baseman made that play.

No. 7: The Everyday

I’ve seen well over 100 games of Nolan’s, he does this well everyday. It’s still extraordinary that he turned this into an ordinary play.

 No. 6: The Patron

This catch turned Arenado into a patron.

 No. 5: The I Got Two

Most third basemen don’t get one out on this play, he got two.

 No. 4: The Drop

The play he made Wednesday was jaw-dropping. The stop, the recover and the throw, just unbelievable.

 No. 3: The Slash Dive

This one is crazy because he’s expecting a bunt and the Reds’ pitcher hits one on the screws down the line.

 No. 2: The Cutoff

Usually hot corner is used to describe balls being hit down the left field line, Nolan found a way to do the exact opposite.

 No. 1: The Tarp Catch

This one needs no introduction and along with his walk-off cycle this may be the lasting image currently of the 26-year-old third baseman.

 Bonus: How!

Why would you even try this?
