For those wondering why Arenado should be a Hall of Famer, see tweet below Via @TroyRenck on X

What happened: Nolan Arenado has joined an exclusive group of players in league history. He recently became the sixth player to compile at least 2,000 hits, 350 home runs, and 10 Gold Glove awards.

Why it matters: The milestone highlights his consistent production at the plate alongside his elite defensive reputation at third base. Entering this specific statistical club strengthens his eventual case for induction into the Hall of Fame.

By the numbers: The other five players to reach these career marks are Ken Griffey Jr., Willie Mays, Mike Schmidt, Johnny Bench, and Al Kaline.

What to watch: He will look to add to those totals as the regular season continues.
