Congratulations Once More To Nolan Arenado on His Birthday. Happy Birthday…
Ten Hochman” sports video — brought to you by Siteman Cancer Center — Ben Hochman discusses Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, who turns 33 today.
Also, a happy birthday shoutout to Fernando Vina! And as always, Hochman picks a random St. Louis Cards card!
Arenado grew up in Newport Beach, California before becoming the Rockies’ second round selection in the 2009 MLB draft.
He made his MLB debut with the Rockies on April 28, 2013.
Arenado throws and bats right-handed, stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 215 pounds.
He is the youngest player in Rockies franchise history to reach 100 home runs.
He is a four-time MLB All-Star selection and is a four-time Silver Slugger Award winner.
In 2017, he played for the United States national team in the World Baseball Classic, winning that tournament’s gold medal.
His nickname on the team is Nado.
He can make incredible catches in the stands.
Arenado completed his first career major league cycle with three-run homer at Coors Field in 2017. He is only the eighth Rockies player to do it. And the sixth player in history to finish off such a performance with a walk-off home run.
