Watch: Arenado throws out runner while lying on his back

Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports

In his five-year career, Nolan Arenado has already been the recipient of four National League Gold Glove awards.

The talented Colorado Rockies third baseman flashed the leather on Wednesday, diving for a ball and making the throw by turning around and firing it off from his back.

The most impressive part of it all was that the throw managed to get to first baseman Mark Reynolds on a line, absolutely robbing San Francisco Giants pitcher Ty Blach of a hit.
