The reasons why Troy Tulowitzki is such a special player

Professionalism

Troy Tulowitzki has a calm, cool and collective way of handling himself on the baseball diamond. He brings a Cal Ripken Jr, Derek Jeter type style that we don’t often see much of anymore in today’s game. In this day and age, we see a lot of emotion on the baseball field. Tulowitzki himself loves to show his emotion every once in a while, but even when he does, it is in a professional manner and is used to energize his teammates. When Tulowitzki is making a spinning play deep in the hole or running to his right to make a terrific throw on the run, you will always see him run back to his position or back to the dugout (depending on the situation) in a way that shows people watching, “you should expect me to make this play every time.”

Tulowitzki’s professionalism on the baseball diamond is a huge asset to his everyday game that is often times overlooked.
