PHILADELPHIA -- Undoubtedly, there is tremendous beauty and flair in Nolan Arenado’s game, what with the way he plays third base like some combination of a graceful ballerina, a sure-handed wide receiver and a brazen cat burglar.
Meanwhile, at the plate, Arenado is a fidgety bundle of nerves and someone eager to pounce on a pitcher’s next mistake. Admittedly, there is rarely a time when he’s not thinking about hitting, so when he’s in the batter’s box, he’s anxious to use the intel he picked up from tirelessly watching film or pounding baseballs in the batting cage to do damage.
But the true beauty of Arenado’s game lies within the fire that burns deep inside of him and occasionally splashes and spills during games. Challenge Arenado and you might get burned -- such as when he angrily barked at Philadelphia’s Kyle Schwarber and basically challenged the whole Phillies dugout on Saturday. Arenado’s white-hot fire operates as the fuel that drives him to be great at everything he does, and it pushes him to not take anything for granted. Also, it is the furnace that propels him toward burning as hot in the first inning as the ninth and as intensely scorching in a June regular-season game as an October playoff game.
Arenado is a modern-day superstar in every sense of the word, a nine-time Gold Glover and a future Hall of Famer. But he’s also a relentless grinder who scratches and claws like a no-name Minor Leaguer. What those around him love most is how he motivates with his infectious energy and his refusal to yield in any way.
