Rockies Player Comparison: Nolan Arenado, 2017

This catcher didn’t find his groove until last year, but now that he’s found it, he’s raking. He knocked 10 home runs in 112 games last year with a wRC+ of 126. He should easily surpass that this year as he’s already hit eight homers in 39 games. Those kind of stats would make Nolan proud.

Now we’ll keep the comparisons strictly to what they do on the diamond because Dong-won has his own personal issues that don’t exactly make him the best person in the world (look them up if you so choose), but he’s been a force on the diamond in the past couple seasons.
