I've never seen an arm quite like that before. Unreal.

Heck of an arm...

Reminds me...

… OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, There's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, Look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe-safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch-he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out here, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

That's not an arm, that's a cannon along the likes of Bo and Ichiro.

Has the speed of his thrown ball been measured?

That makes even Bo's throw from LF look tame.....

That first one had almost no arc. Damn.

Mookie has had a few similar throws. Garcia from Texas also has a cannon. There are others. But yea that guy has and arm. Accuracy is also a thing.

While the throw to third was great it was from right center. Not in the corner in deep right field.

The big leaguer's can do it like none other. There is a reason they are there.

That was fun to watch.
You would think he would just throw to 2nd as there was a guy on 1st. Nope.

I never really understood how hard these guys threw until they started putting the gun on some infielders. I recall Javy Baez throwing 103 from second to first. I didn't think anyone but pitchers threw over 100. They sure do, now they have the assistance of the run up and some better footwork to do it, but hot damn they throw HARD.
