I was in sitting in RF when Nando threw out Pasquantino. I couldn't see exactly where Tatis was but saw the throw and knew he was out - felt like I was watching it all happen in slow motion yet it was so damn quick. As bad as this season has been, it's been a thrill to watch him gun down runners.
I met Jerry Coleman in 2004, and he was such a gentleman to me. It's awesome that the Padres announcers are still hanging a star on their calls in honor of Mr. Coleman.
I have been watching baseball for over 60 years, and the footwork on these plays blows my mind. The feet point the way for the arm, and I can't imagine being able to stop a spin at the precise moment the body is pointed at the target.
I still think Corea has one of the strongest arms in the league. Watched him catch a relay ball in between 1st and 2nd then lazer it to 3rd to get an out during a post season game. Was insanely quick.
Al Kaline had a rocket arm in the 60’s and early 70’s. Threw out runners from 300 feet and it was always on the line to the 3rd. Baseman or catcher at home.
I play Senior Ball in Tokyo, Japan, the over 60 YO league. I'm the only foreigner out of over 600 guys on 40 teams... we talk about some of the plays in the MLB, especially the Angels because of Ohtani. I get compared to Nootbar (played for Japan) because I still throw very hard and had 5 assists from center in 7 games in the first half of our season. Never played baseball formerly when I was younger but am enjoying it now and love watching these guys gun people down!
No mention of Brenton Doyle though the guy leads baseball in outfield assists and literally broke the stat cast record for hardest EVER throw from the outfield
Brian Anderson lowkey has one of the best arms in baseball. I remember a play he made in right field for the marlins where he gunned down a guy trying to get to third base on a rope and Ive never been able to find it again but it was amazing
Reggie Smith who played for the dodgers in the late 70's and early 80's, was standing with his back against the wall, took 2 steps and caught the ball, then threw a rope to throw out the runner at home, no bounce, I haven't been able to find it
5:40 - lol that would be me getting cashed on a routine double too....nice throw but I think that Vogelback being 270 lbs. had something to do with it as well
At 0:40-41 at half speed, his foot is all on top of the bag before the tag gets applied. At 1:11 same song second verse. When the tag hits his right upper arm his lefthand is already on the bag..
I think one of the reasons that I like watching these videos is because I grew up watching Dwight Evans and also because I was blessed with a cannon. Loved Clemente's arm and Ken Griffey Jr. and Bo Jackson was off the charts. As a Rays fan I loved me some Kevin Kiermaier. Tatis and Acuna are spectacular but for my money, give me Ichiro any day. Yes, yes, I know that this is a video about this season's greatest throws but aside from Renfroe and the previously mentioned and that one from third to first at the beginning, none of them overwhelmed me.
I’ve played the game and compared to other sports like hockey, football and basketball it is more boring. That’s just a fact - there’s a few seconds of action separated by long periods of nothing happening.
I swear half of these, the runner is safe. Look at 2:00 at quarter speed. Goes for the tag on the right arm, and the left arm sweeps by and tags the base.
Yes we were miffed, we were vexed at your exclusion of acuna. Thank you for clarifying why he was excluded I don't understand copyright rules. Why would showing hakuna beer copyright violation but not showing de La Cruz or other players?
I want to know who is coming up with these speeds that they are claiming the outfielders are throwing???? Is this just w visual speed you are coming up with lol.,
If I'm an MLB manager, I'm telling all my players to act like every close tag is a safe call. Stand up and stand on the bag and ask for time. Don't even think about motioning to the dugout. Let the guy getting paid to watch every play in slow motion on behalf of our club be the one who makes the call.
Why do they cut away from the fielder EVERY SINGLE TIME to show the runner running? A close up of a guy running is not nearly as interesting, informative or entertaining as watching the fielder get into position, catch the ball, set up and throw the ball. Then, they should stay on the ball in flight, because you can see the runner running in that shot. Just because they have so many camera angles doesn’t mean they should try to use them all in every play. Fortunately, most of these highlights have a replay of just one shot of the fielder fielding and throwing the ball, but it would be much better to see it live.

Well hello TH-cam suggestions. You strike again. Who else is new? Love the video. Great cutting.
Thanks 👍

You are underrated af
The hitter at the 5:34 mark just made me think of the Chris Berman saying "rumbling stumbling" when a lineman runs with the football....
4:10 The best arm in the MLB!
Honestly thought some of those tags, especially at the beginning, were late, but it might just be the angle. Still freaking amazing!
Thanks for the Lane Thomas appreciation

His teammate Nolan Jones ended up having more assists i think but both deserve to be here
Did he make a spectacular highlight worthy play?
@@docHOLLAday53
You mean like EVERY SINGLE THROW of Nolan's? Because yes - he did.
That kid as an ABSURD arm on him.
Most of these were catching stupid runners and guys with lead in their pants. But that throw at 1:44 was a laser from the outfield.
More aggressive some were dumb others were just you need a perfect throw to get them

These are all impressive but Bo Jackson still makes them all look like rookies. Bo Knows!!!!
Baseball is fun not boring
Elly is such a good player. I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes one of the best baseball players in history
Edit: I’ve started a full on war
he has to work on his eye at the plate. he strikes out a lot
I would be astonished
Y’all get way too ahead of yourselves the man has a 775 OPS and we are putting him in potential goat debates
@@crosby87immax + a 260 Avg

3:23 springers face when he sees the throw lmao

Griffey, Jr. didn't have a good arm.
Anyone who says baseball is boring has never played the game. Period
It can be when you are winning by over 10

Not surprised by Oscar Colas arm, he was once reportedly able to throw 95 on the mound.
Elly is a future star
Need to watch a league slow pitch softball games. My right fielder can throw it over the fence behind the plate from the warning track
5:15 come one now it’s volgelbach 😭😭😭
Matt Wallner AL ROTY candidate
That guy on the Reds from third base sheesh
Like 3 or 4 of these guys were safe...
Ya
Carroll was safe
@@rgcomment4450 he came off the bag
@ either you don’t who Carroll is and you mistake the play, or you’re the new Angel Hernandez.
@@rgcomment4450 Actually if you put in slow no youll see, he came off the bag Angel
6:32 was safe lol
Lol exactly what I thought
The last one…holy crap how fast did that ball get thrown???
I swear half of these, the runner is safe. Look at 2:00 at quarter speed. Goes for the tag on the right arm, and the left arm sweeps by and tags the base.
That last throw was crazy
Some of these stretches the runners try to get is crazy, considering they’re in the MLB
0:17, “thought they had a shot” they definitely had a shot to throw him out
This should be called "MLB Worst Base Running Coaches 2023"
@4:40 -- Kiermaier was just trying to warn us the whole time.
I know this is for 2023, but if you love baseball, please go find videos of Ellis Valentine and the bazooka he had for an arm.
6:31 Corbin safe as hell bruh
0:43 Vinny looked safe to me, still a solid throw by Nando though!
Thats what I was thinking
sure
What about Larry Walker?
2023
Play at the plate, GOT HIM- Matt Devlin.
Josh bell was not out from 25 feet 25 miles
9:20 was a great throw
6:30 I don't know....looked safe to me
for people who dont know Oscar Colas he will be a very surprising defensive player!!!
Surprisingly bad defense...like Eloy Jimenez and Yoan Moncada.
I wonder how fast Elly could throw with a crow hop
About the same as he throws now....maybe 2-3 more MPH velocity.
I think in MLB The Show 2023, Tatis might be the only player that has an arm strength of over 99, at 107, in ROTS at least.
You forgot Mauricio dubons throw from right center to get Stanton at home .
some of these throws, while all of them are outstanding, but a few of them the runner was safe
People that say baseball is boring, well they just dont get it
how did you not include acuna??
They were removed for copyright sadly. There was 4 of him and de la cruz.
Yes we were miffed, we were vexed at your exclusion of acuna. Thank you for clarifying why he was excluded I don't understand copyright rules. Why would showing hakuna beer copyright violation but not showing de La Cruz or other players?
An ill- advised base running maneuver on El Bombi- Dave Raymond.
I want to know who is coming up with these speeds that they are claiming the outfielders are throwing???? Is this just w visual speed you are coming up with lol.,
Where is Henry Davis on Bryce Harper at second and home?
I had a lot more clips but the video would have been too long. The rest will go into another part.
elly can throw faster than most pitchers
What's your point? So can about two dozen outfielders and a handful of infielders.
Erm.. no Acuna? Dude throws 104 from the outfield lol
Corbin Carrol was safe, slow down the play to .25 and watch. I hope they challenged that.
6:31 on 0.25 very safee!!!!!😅
Absolutely, I hope that was challenged
Brian Anderson has a rocket arm
A lot of these look like the runner is safe.
2:45
I find it rude that you didn’t account for Patrick Bailey
No Brenton Doyle or Nolan Jones on this compilation is criminal. They have the hardest throws from the outfield for the whole year. Do better
I had clips for them but they got copyrighted and cut out. Of course I know they have the hardest throws this year lol.
One infield throw? Just one?
Idk how you don’t have any Gunnar Henderson clips smh
Totally upset non of Dubón’s great outfield assists was here.
So Lane Thomas is to blame for Freddie not getting 60 two bags this year
The first guy was hosed if they didn’t cut it off
hi
hi
Hi
How do you not have Doyle or Nolan Jones? They have the strongest arms. You're highlights are incomplete
These are all great throws but holy smokes a lot of them are awful baserunning lol

Several of those look like they beat the tag.
The second runner was safe.
Oscar Colas takes him down- Jason Benetti.
the first one...... he could've get the 3rd base runner
Clearly safe @ 6:31
how is myles straw not in this
How were some older players not shown with cannon arms like roberto clemente, andre dawson , etc
2023 season only
A 1-hopper to 2B from CF to throw out Freddie Freeman is not necessarily a cannon.
Where is RAJ?!
Anyone else think the guy from the tatis throw was safe because of the tag? Thought his foot got in there first
most seems like safe to me
we call ie laser arm not cannon arm
Ballers
At 6:30 Mike estabrook misses the call.. 👎
Where’s acuña at
His clips got cut because of copyright sadly
Ok
Acuna has the hardest throw this year at 104.1 mph.
throwing out vogelbach shouldn't be a thing
631: safe
Lewis was safe all day long at 1:10, phil cuzzi is the worst ump in the MLB.
He was out by a lot u just gotta pause it on time
Some of these were just bad base-running decisions, not "cannon arms."
I could beat vogelbach to any base lol
Where is Miles Straw????
Or will brennan😢
A lot of these so calls would be overturned
