Nolan Arenado Looking Dominant Through Early Going
4 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is off to a fantastic start to his first season in a Cardinals jersey. He's recorded at least one hit in each of his first eight games to start the year. He's slashing .333/.371/.576 with two home runs, five RBI and five runs. He has an average exit velocity of 90.2 mph, up from 87.8 mph last year. He's also increased his launch angle from 19.2 degrees last year to 22.4 degrees this year. Leaving Coors Field behind hasn't had any effect on Arenado's bat so far. He came at a discount in fantasy drafts this year with the team change and following a slightly disappointing 2020 season. Fantasy managers who drafted Arenado at his discounted price look like they will be rewarded.
