Baseball fans have grown used to Nolan Arenado making beautiful plays with his glove during his nine years in the major leagues. He’s won a Gold Glove Award in each of his first eight seasons, after all, so he knows what he’s doing in the field.

Arenado, who is in his first year with the St. Louis Cardinals, chased a fly ball down the third base line and made a tremendous over-the-shoulder catch with his back to home plate.
