Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado is one of the best players in baseball. He entered Wednesday batting .292/.344/.548 -- good for a 115 OPS+. And, oh, by the way? He's a phenomenal defender.
Don't take our word for it. Watch Arenado's latest gem, in which he robbed San Francisco Giants pitcher Ty Blach:

To recap: Arenado dived to his left and snagged the ball, spun around and threw off his back knee and somehow got enough on the throw to reach first base. None of that is easy individually, yet he made it look smooth collectively.
Nolan Arenado, y'all. He's special.
