Nolan Arenado Homers And Doubles On Wednesday
3 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado had a strong game at the plate in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves. He went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI. Through 104 games on the year, Arenado is slashing .264/.320/.503 with 21 home runs, 65 RBI and 51 runs. Many of his underlying power metrics are right on par with his prime years, including his 37.3% hard-hit rate and his 7.3% barrel rate. He also currently has a career-best 21.1 degree average launch angle. He's clearly suffering - as expected - from the move away from Coors Field. His 12.1% HR/FB rate is well below his career 15.5% clip.
