Arenado grew up aLos Angeles Dodgersfan.[6]He attendedEl Toro High Schoolin Lake Forest, and playedshortstopon the school's baseball team[7]with fellow future major leaguersAustin RomineandMatt Chapman.[8]In 2008, Arenado'sjunioryear, El Toro won theCalifornia Interscholastic FederationSouthern Section championship.[9]He was named to theLos Angeles Times'All-Starteam after leading his division with a.456batting average,32runs batted in(RBI), and 33runs scored.[10]

Professional career

[edit]

Draft and minor leagues (2009–12)

[edit]

TheColorado Rockiesselected Arenado in the second round with the 59th overall selection of the2009 MLB draft.[13]Rather than attend ASU, he signed with the Rockies, and made hisprofessional baseballdebut with theCasper Ghostsof theRookie-levelPioneer League,where he batted.300.[11]In 2010, Arenado played for theAsheville Touristsof theClass ASouth Atlantic League,where he posted a.308 batting average and 41 doubles.[11]

Before the 2011 season,Baseball Americaranked Arenado as the Rockies' third-best prospect and 80th overall.[14][15]He was highly acclaimed as ahitter,less so as a defender. While playing for theModesto Nutsof the Class A-AdvancedCalifornia League,he began working harder on his defense. While he had previously demonstrated exceptional arm strength and soft hands, they were neutralized by his inept footwork. Arenado later recalled that he "had really bad feet," and "was too lazy," for which ModestomanagerJerry Weinsteinrelentlessly scolded him. He tasked Arenado to take ground balls earlier than the other players and to move rapidly and precisely and maintain readiness at third base. In addition, Arenado began lifting weights in earnest while pushing himself to improve. The work ultimately gave him a combination of explosive vigor, ingenuity, and finesse that allowed him to cover large areas and make good long and short throws from postures ranging from upright to nearly laying down.[16]

Along withWilin Rosario,Arenado represented the Rockies at the 2011All-Star Futures Game.His first-half totals included a.283 batting average with six home runs and 42 RBI.[17]He finished the season with a.298 batting average and 20 home runs, leading the minor leagues with 122 RBI.[18]Later in the year, he was named theMost Valuable Player(MVP) of theArizona Fall League(AFL) after hitting.388 with six home runs and 33 RBI.[19][20]In 163 games combined in the California League and AFL in 2011, Arenado batted.315 with 201 base hits, 155 RBI, 26 home runs and 44 doubles.[21]Playing for theTulsa Drillersof the Class AATexas Leaguein 2012, he was again named to appear in the All-Star Futures Game.[18]He finished the year with a.285 batting average, 12 home runs, and 56 RBI.[11]
