Mar 5 2015
Could Arenado breakout in 2015? … Nolan Arenado (3B, COL) missed about 50 games due to a fractured left middle finger and pneumonia, but he was able to best his 2013 performance in nearly every category. There had been some questions about his power, but he nearly doubled his 2013 HR output, narrowly missing the 20-HR plateau. He also raised his batting average 20 points to .287. Was his elevated production backed by advancement in underlying metrics?
