American · Sugar Land, USA · Born 16 July 1991American professional baseball third baseman known for exceptional defensive skills, winning 10 Gold Glove Awards and multiple All-Star selections in MLB.
Nolan Arenado is the St. Louis Cardinals' exceptional third baseman, a ten-time Gold Glove Award winner widely considered the greatest defensive third baseman in the history of the game. His combination of legendary defensive ability — producing highlight-reel plays routinely — and consistent 30-homer offensive production have made him one of the most complete players in baseball. Arenado's move from Colorado to St. Louis in 2021 reunited him with a franchise built on defensive excellence, and he continued adding to his Gold Glove collection while remaining one of the most complete two-way infielders of his generation into his mid-thirties.
