"Phenomenal play by Nolan Arenado" - Fox Sports: MLB

Arenado is not only one of the best offensive players in baseball; he is also, perhaps, the best defensive third baseman in the game. Many fans across baseball took to Twitter to react to the incredible play. Here's a look at some of the best reactions across Twitter this afternoon.

One fan claimed that Arenado is the best third baseman in the game. It is hard to argue against this claim as he leads all third basemen in WAR.

Arenado has won a Gold Glove Award every year he has been in the MLB. It is safe to say that he will add another one at the end of the season.

It almost seems like this is routine for Arenado as he always makes phenomenal plays at third base.

Some fans are calling Arenado the MVP of the National League. He is certainly in the discussion, along with teammate Paul Goldschmidt.

Arenado seems to make the hard plays look easy.

One fan does not understand exactly how he made the play.

While being able to make a diving stop like this is extremely impressive, the more impressive part of the play was being able to throw from the knees.

Arenado practices play from his knees, and it goes to show that practice makes perfect!

Overall, it was an incredible play by an incredible player. Nolan Arenado is a special player. He may very well go down as the best defensive third baseman of all-time before it's all said and done.
