2016 HR: 8

2015 HR: 42

2014 HR: 18

Nolan Arenado broke out as one of the best third baseman in the game with his great defense and ability to hit the ball. Arenado was tied for third in the majors with 42 homers last season. While this is a great start to his career, Arenado is certainly helped by playing in Coors Field, which is famous for increasing power numbers. He would still have great home run numbers if he played for a different team, but Coors Field certainly inflates his production a bit. Arenado should continue to produce a lot of home runs this season and keep climbing up this list in the near future.
