This weekend saw one Colorado Rockies All-Star infielder impressing another.
Rockies legend Todd Helton was guesting in the broadcast booth for a game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday when third baseman Nolan Arenado pulled off an insane defensive play. Arenado moved way to his left to cut off a groundball off the bat of Starlin Castro and get the force out at second base. For his part, Helton sounded pretty bewildered by the show of range.

Helton, now 44, played his entire 17-year career with Colorado, earning five All-Star appearances and three Gold Glove Awards. As for the 27-year-old Arenado, he has already racked up some similarly impressive accolades for the team with three straight All-Star selections and five straight Gold Gloves (!!!).
We have seen Arenado make some other spectacular web gems over the years, and it is safe to say that Helton left the Rockies in good hands with him.
