biker_jim_uk Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 does anyone know any links showing outstanding arms in action? eg Clemente, Bo Jackson I was watching Ken Burns' Baseball and the Clemente section didn't show a single clip of his throwing? Perhaps because runners stoppedd challenging him? Anyways I'd love to see some clips. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastflink2009 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Nope, and I don't know of a video made called outstanding arms in action. :duh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 There's an old clip of Dave Parker's (?) throw to the plate in an All-Star game. Hell that was a throw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooseknucks Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Ever seen the tape of Vlad throwing from the left field foul territory to the right field outfield wall? No just reaching it, throwing it over. Pretty wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emil Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I saw a video of Ichirco throwing a seed from deep RF to 3rd base and get's the runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseknucks Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I saw a video of Ichirco throwing a seed from deep RF to 3rd base and get's the runner. Yeah I've seen that. I think it was Juan Rivera in his early days with the Yanks, I recollect him completely clearing homeplate and hitting the backstop on the fly from deep left/center. Cost them a run but my god did that ball pick up some wind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Juan Rivera does have a hell of a run, it's such a waste that Scoscia DHed him. He should DH Garret Anderson and his arthritic back/knee/whatever the hell is hurting him now. Now, Franceur of the Braves has a good arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Just as a personal note, Torii Hunter has a spectacular arm. I was at a White Sox / Twins game at the Cell earlier this year, and Torii threw a bullet to Mauer to get pre-injury Podsednik who was trying to tag from third. It was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever seen at a baseball game. He was at least 350' away and the ball landed in the perfect position, it was astonishing.

D-Unit Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I saw a video of Ichirco throwing a seed from deep RF to 3rd base and get's the runner. i saw that. amazing throw. it was a bullet, never hit the ground, was at least a foot or two above the ground the whole time. clemente also had an amazing play, caught it from deep in the outfield and threw off balance to nail a guy tagging up.

theshadeofice Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 only saw it on the highlight reel, vladdy getting a runner at home from the right field corner with his momentum heading away from home plate. while he was with the expos at olympic stadium. that was a hell of a throw.

xcrunner4623 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ichiro and Vlad have the two best arms in the game bar none. They throw lasers to nail people at third and home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentySeven Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ichiro and Vlad have the two best arms in the game bar none. They throw lasers to nail people at third and home. Vladimir has a really inaccurate arm though. He's not that good a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Didn't Vlad throw out bonds trying to tag from third, when vlad was still an expo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcrunner4623 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I think Vlad has thrown everyone out in the Majors. I heard Vlad gunned Chuck Norris out at home even letting him get a two minute head start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
