Colorado's Nolan Arenado Throws Runner out from His Backside

While some of you were either at the office or returning home from work, Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado made what could be the defensive play of the day during Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park.                  

With nobody on base and one out in the bottom of the third, San Francisco pitcher Ty Blach hit a sharp ground ball headed toward left field. 

Arenado had none of it, however, as he made the stop via his glove, grabbed the ball with his bare hand, rolled over to his backside and threw over to first in time to beat Blach for the force out. 

Granted, San Francisco's pitchers may not be known as the fastest baserunners in the league, but this is nevertheless a defensive highlight any day of the week.
