Nolan Arenado was chosen as the Colorado Rockies representative for the prestigious award after the finishing the 2019 season with an OPS+ of 129 and a slash line of .315/.379/.583 with 41 homers and 118 RBI.
This year marked the third time in his seven-year career that Arenado had hit 40 or more home runs in a season, becoming only the second player (along with Vinny Castilla) to have accomplished that feat with the Rockies.
Arenado also hit another milestone this season by recording his 500th extra base hit. With that hit on September 10, he became the fourth Rockies player to reach that mark, joining Todd Helton, Larry Walker and Carlos Gonzalez.
