He also drew two walks, showcasing a keen eye at the plate despite the team's struggles. This performance slightly lifts his season batting average to .286 and increases his RBI count to 11. Arenado's ability to draw walks in this game, contrasting with his relatively low walk rate this season, might hint at a potential shift towards better plate discipline. However, his power numbers remain modest, with only one home run and six doubles over 21 games. Fantasy managers should appreciate the RBI and doubles but remain cautious until the veteran slugger showcases more consistency at the plate as the season continues.
