Arenado is renowned as an exceptional third baseman, showcasing remarkable skills both in offense and defense.

He holds the distinction of being the sole infielder to clinch the Rawlings Gold Glove Award consecutively for his first 10 seasons in Major League Baseball. After making his MLB debut with the Colorado Rockies in 2013, he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals before the 2021 season.

He was chosen as the Rockies' second-round pick in the 2009 MLB Draft. With six Major League All-Star appearances, his defensive achievements extend beyond the 10 Gold Gloves.

His other accolades include four Fielding Bible Awards (including three consecutive ones) and three consecutive Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Awards.

Additionally, he has secured six consecutive Rawlings Platinum Gloves. In terms of offense, he has been honored with the Silver Slugger Award five times and has led the league in both home runs and runs batted in twice.

Furthermore, he currently holds the highest RBI count among all major league players since the beginning of the 2015 season.
