While things may not have gone as well as the plate for Nolan Arenado in 2020, the defensive skills of the Colorado Rockies All-Star third baseman were once again the best at his position in the National League.
After leading all of Major League Baseball with 15 Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), Nolan Arenado earned the 2020 Gold Glove Award, presented by Rawlings, over Miami’s Brian Anderson and San Diego’s Manny Machado.
