Watch Nolan flaunt range, arm from foul ground

April 19th, 2019

DENVER -- Rockies third baseman can turn a bad hop into a really sweet one.

In the fourth inning of Colorado's 6-2 win over the Phillies on Thursday night at Coors Field, Rhys Hoskins lashed a Kyle Freeland pitch for a two-hopper toward the third-base line. The second hop actually went away from the line and further into fair territory, nearly hitting Arenado in the left leg. But when you have won six straight National League Gold Glove Awards, including a Platinum Glove in each of the past two seasons, hops like that are no problem.

Arenado snared it, curled his running route toward home plate in foul territory and made a pinpoint sidearm throw to first base to end the inning with the game scoreless.
