Nolan Arenado Reaches Base Twice On Wednesday
3 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in the team's 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Arenado has had a decent first year with the Cardinals so far. Over 110 games, he's slashing .261/.319/.494 with 22 home runs, 68 RBI and 54 runs. His 13.4% strikeout rate ranks in the 95th percentile and he has a career-best average launch angle of 20.4 degrees. However, his xSLG (.429) is down a good amount from his prime years with the Colorado Rockies (.518 in 2017, .481 in 2019) and he's looking like more of a top-30 hitter rather than a top-10 or even top-20 hitter going forward.
