Nolan Arenado Unmoved By The Mightiness Of His Own Dinger

The Rockies stink, but their star third baseman, Nolan Arenado, does not. Last night, he reminded everyone just how good he is by crushing a 482-foot homer that one-hopped its way out of the stadium:

A good, satisfying tater can take on many forms, but it’s hard to top one that makes a sound like that.

According to Statcast, Arenado’s homer is tied for the third-longest of the season. When he was apprised of this information after the game, he didn’t seem all that impressed. From MLB.com:

“I knew I got it good,” Arenado said. “I don’t know how those distances work. I don’t really believe in them. Yordan Alvarez hit [two] yesterday and they said only, like, 420 maybe? [429 and then 416, officially] He hit it like into the third deck in Houston. I think that ball might’ve gone a little farther than mine.”

The dinger gods will surely smile upon this act of humility, and bless Arenado with many more big bashes in the future.
