What adjustment period?

It's hard to believe, but Arenado made this play just a month and a half into his big league career. He rightly earned a Gold Glove Award as a rookie with the Rockies

Slow down? Never

This one had it all: A sprint down the line, a remarkable catch, an eye-popping crash onto the tarp and a heads-up throw back to the infield

This hotshot was hit as close to the 3B line as can be, but Arenado still got the out, even as his momentum pulled him well into foul ground

Arenado made this supremely awkward hop look like a piece of cake, then made a breezy throw to first to get Yadier Molina

Never a doubt

Even on a rare occasion when Arenado doesn't field a ball cleanly, he can improvise for the out, as he did here with a throw from his backside

Not just a third baseman

Arenado charged in on this bunt so perfectly, he fielded it just shy of the 1B line and still got the lead runner

A spectacular save

Arenado's diving stop wasn't enough to prevent a run -- he also needed to make a perfect off-balance throw home, and of course he did just that
