Back to pacing for over 100 homers again. I'd say there's a good chance he does it this year.

Someone called him mvp

Best part about all three of his HRs so far? He knows the exact amount of effort he needs to put into his swing to barely deposit the ball in the left field seats / bullpen. He's not overswinging at all. Dude's in the zone.

his next at bat he hit the first pitch foul, and it made me jump how hard he crushed it. Everyone was buzzing...about a clearly foul ball. He's on it right now.

Yet another dong last night, guy is on fire

Leading the NL in AVG, HR, RBI, SLG, OPS, OPS+, TB, WAR

Pretty good start

If Pujols doesn't fall off a cliff and O'Neill keeps maturing into the awesome hitter he seems to be, Arenado is snugly planted in the sweet spot of that lineup. He could easily get to the 60 HR / 120 RBI plateaus, and secure his 1st MVP.

I really like how easy the game seems to be coming to him right now. Plus, he kinda looks bad ass with the surfer hair and tan.

Let's not get too crazy yet... I'd be happy with 45-50.

That's just it though. He doesn't hit moonshots that will eventually fatigue him later on in the season. His HRs are just barely clearing the wall - and that's all you need. It really looks like he's mastered his craft, his swing, and his body to all work in sync. He makes it look effortless, and that goes a long way.

That's true, but what the baseball gods giveth, they can taketh. Hopefully they keep just clearing the wall and he doesn't hit a lull of warning track power.

Seemed like a good time to share these, nothing too crazy. LEFT is 99/99 and RIGHT is 1/99.

Pulled this out of one my Sapphire Update Boxes a couple weeks ago..really love the look of Sapphire Parallels

2-4 with a HR and 5 RBI today. NL April Player of the Month. Dude's fire.

StL is lucky to have him! It reminds me of how excited I was to get Rolen back in the day. Hopefully he can compete for a championship.

rngrdanny22 · 05-04-2022, 08:46 PM

I hope he balls out this year. Give the haters no foot to stand on about Coors.

Hellcat · 05-05-2022, 07:16 AM

Man he’s raking!

HOFAutoRookies · 05-05-2022, 07:33 AM

Anyone have any 2010 BC auto printing plates of him?

corockies · 08-31-2022, 09:39 PM

1 hit from 1500 for his career.
3 HR from 300 for his career.
Still playing in extras vs the Reds right now.

Nice card! I got the brother...

Arenado leads the NL in WAR on both Fangraphs and Baseball Reference

Should have Gold Glove #10 (in 10 years) locked down for this year

Production can no longer be questioned by Coors field since he has a 167 OPS+ with a pitcher-friendly home park and virtually identical home/away splits

MVP is Goldschmidt's to lose unless he falls off a cliff in September, but Nolan is pretty definitively the #2 right now.

Surprised his cards haven't climbed more. Still very affordable for a top tier star when compared to other similar caliber players.
