Rockies infielders Nolan Arenado, DJ LeMahieu win Gold Gloves

Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado and second baseman DJ LeMahieu on Tuesday were named National League Gold Glove recipients at their respective positions.

Arenado is now a two-time Gold Glove winner, taking home the award in each of his first two big league seasons. The 23-year-old defensive phenom is the fifth Rockies player to win a Gold Glove in consecutive seasons, joining Larry Walker, Todd Helton, Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez. Arenado was a guest on the awards show after his victory was announced. During the interview, he talked about growing up watching Adrian Beltre, but the best part came when Arenado was asked about being known as Sharknado:

"Ummmm, that's NOT my nickname."

LeMahieu, 26, is a first-time Gold Glove recipient. He was statistically the second-best second baseman in all of baseball behind the Red Sox's Dustin Pedroia, who won the award in the American League. LeMahieu had no trouble passing the eye test, either, routinely making spectacular plays behind a Rockies pitching staff that gave up a lot of contact. In addition to his defensive contributions, LeMahieu was one of few Rockies players to stay healthy from start to finish in 2014. He should win an even more prestigious award for that accomplishment, if you ask me.

The Rockies' other nominee, first baseman Justin Morneau, finished as a runner up behind the Dodgers' Adrian Gonzalez, who won his fourth-career Gold Glove.

Either Arenado or LeMahieu might not be done collecting hardware. The Platinum Glove, which is awarded to the best overall defender in each league, is still up for grabs. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, but until then, fans can vote for their choice (and it better be Arenado or LeMahieu!) here.
