Oakland A's outfielder Yoenis Cespedes had several spectacular throws get runners out in about a two week span. He made his case for throws of the year, and these are those throws.
ok people - watch from 1:10 to understand the power this man possesses. When you see the other angles, you can under estimate the way in which the ball leaps out of his hand. When the camera perspective pans to the side and captures the action from field view...WHOA. Look out. That thing is an absolute rocket.
AquaX107 believe me when I tell you that pitchers are scared of Cespedes and the opposing team usually always watch him take B.P. ..he is simply amasing and was always a favorite with the Oak. Fans.. The man aint no joke...comming from a Oak fan that has seen him play ALOT...You guys hot a winner in Yoenis....
McDago100 He's heavily appreciated out in New York. He's done nothing but help the Mets organization in tremendous ways. I'm very happy to have him in a Mets uniform but I know A's fans are hurting without him. Good luck to you guys.
Phillip Phillips Are you watching the Playoffs? Coco Crisp hit a home run for Cleveland the other day. Josh Donaldson is doing well for the Blue Jays. Joe Blanton came through for the Dodgers. Zobrist did well for the Cubs. All these guys are ex-Athletics.The Mets are officially and in reality a Major League Baseball team. The Oakland Athletics are "Finishing School " future all stars. I forgot to mention Bartolo Colon. Well, I am glad Colon and Cespedes play for the Mets and not the Yankees. I really wish you guys would have beat the Giants.
Because he was a left fielder. (He's on the Red Sox now). Plenty of guys like to run on left fielders because most of them have the worst arm of the outfielders. So he should be right fielder.
Sliding seems to have slid in quality. One that second one the foot was nowhere near the plate. But the foot is six feet ahead of the hand so why is the runner using his hand?
Yohenis Céspedez Millanés , de Israel Licea poblado entre Manzanillo y Campechuela,lo mejor de lo mejor al igula que su Madre la gran Estela Milanés en Sofboll.
When Cespi was traded, I was shocked, then I had a minute to think about it. His bat had plain gone to sleep, and he wasn't producing in 2014. If his trade messed up the heads of so many other players, then that's not playing pro ball. Seems all the bats went to sleep after that, and possibly it was on purpose. No team does such a 180 overnight. Beane then cleaned house, as he should have.
Maybe the A's put him at left field because that a lot of guys run on left fielders because they mostly have the weakest arm of the outfield but he had the best arm lol (he's on the Red Sox now).
dumb announcer, pillar was signalling reyes to slide away from the catcher cause the throw was coming in, not clapping cause he thought they were going to score another run
I tried to make throws like that when I was playing intramural softball. I usually fucked up my release and threw it to the adjoining field's first baseman. I started throwing to my cutoff man instead. :-/
Too bad he can't catch. Two of those throws were on misplayed balls. I will always remember his whiff against KC in the WS to give Escobar an inside the park HR.
+Mitchel Yueill lol that would be an amazing team left fielder cespedes right field puig center ichiro lol dont go for a double or tripe or inside the park home run
That's because if you've ever played baseball you would know almost everyone runs out there. You can't just turn 90 degrees and keep a full sprint. Same thing with people running into the outfield when they get an infield single, it's impossible to go from full sprint to a halt like that.
Yoenis Cespedes is a beast. He's had a few since then too
I would say more of a sniper.
The Angel's third base coach just doesn't learn does he
I'm an Angels fan and I agree
EvonyBeast Worst than MArc Trestman offense...
+EvonyBeast Former 3rd base coach, heh.
+Gab Cot - worse
definitely doesn't watch film lol
I watching Yoenis play 😞 he made it exciting. I hope he is doing well in life though... whatever he is up to.
INSANE ARM! Norris was blocking the plate on a few of those tho

the worst trade in Oakland A's History, the day Cespy left was the A's franchise died Thank you Billy Bean
Oakland thanks you for all you've done. Sure going to miss you! Kill em out in Boston!
pinswade what?? They learned after FIFTH attempt??
bro this video is lit
5:53 lol the dancing kids reaction
I wish he was still in Oakland smdh
I still can't believe the A's broke up this team.
Is that an arm or a canon?
I miss this A's team :(
Welcome to the Tigers.
***** eh at least we got somebody to replace Torii Hunter
AquaX107 believe me when I tell you that pitchers are scared of Cespedes and the opposing team usually always watch him take B.P. ..he is simply amasing and was always a favorite with the Oak. Fans.. The man aint no joke...comming from a Oak fan that has seen him play ALOT...You guys hot a winner in Yoenis....
***** I'm sure he will be be better than hunter
ThePistons4life Tori Hunter was also a very good player , but not on the sane calibur as Yoenis. Yoenis is amazing and has a MAJOR canon as a arm.
Johnny Medeiros I'm glad we have him this year
he'll never play in left field for the Angels
La Potencia! LGM
lol, the angels just don't seem to learn... cespedes booting the ball is a decoy.
Met him at physical therapy today
its amazing how many people think they can run on cespedes
Jason Carlo fr
Why are the umpires all over the place?
If i hit a stand up double to Cespedes im staying on first
throwenis
Cuban power 😏💪
Well jon lester is a good picture that's why but I don't get yoenis cepedes is not a pitcher
dont run on em
This guy really doesn't like the angels
Why was that 'correction' necessary....
Good arm but puig has a better one
CaliKiid3 yea puig dont have a arm like that
Truly one of the most overrated athletes of any sport. And I am a fan of his.
I simply can't believe the throw at 5:01
they should make a law that says "DO NOT RUN ON CESPEDES"
I hope you Mets fans appreciate him. The downfall of my Oakland Athletics started with Cespedes being traded.
McDago100 He's heavily appreciated out in New York. He's done nothing but help the Mets organization in tremendous ways. I'm very happy to have him in a Mets uniform but I know A's fans are hurting without him. Good luck to you guys.

I forgot to mention Bartolo Colon. Well, I am glad Colon and Cespedes play for the Mets and not the Yankees. I really wish you guys would have beat the Giants.
McDago100 Yea man wish they beat the Giants too but Bumgarner had it out for the Mets. Hopefully they can stay healthy next season.
McDago100 I didn't know that some of those players were from the A's. They would've been the team to beat for sure if they were still at Oakland.
Traded a week before cespedes t short give away day lol. I couldn’t believe it.
WHY DO THEY TRY TO TEST THIS MAN'S ARM? So stupid....
that's my line of thought too, :) what's the use? you know what the guy is capable of, just effing freeze !!!
Because he was a left fielder. (He's on the Red Sox now). Plenty of guys like to run on left fielders because most of them have the worst arm of the outfielders. So he should be right fielder.
I think he should stay as a left fielder because runners can underestimate his arm then BOOM! They are out!
Needless to say I don't think the Angels will be testing his arm again anytime in the near future.
This guy could throw a judge out of the courtroom. What a highlight rreel.
Uuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuujujuuuujujuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuji unuos u u uuu
Cespedes, way better than Puig...
Are you mad? Puig have 5 tools, no body in MLB have it
Salvador Anaya Trout
Trout hasn't arm
Salvador Anaya not a strong arm like cespedes but he has a strong arm. And can Cespedes steal 40 bases? Hit more HRs? NO!
Cespedes not, but Puig Yes, Puig is the only MLB player with 5 tool, Trout have 4
M E T S!!
I'm gonna sleep good 2 nite!
Unbelievable the A's traded him. I still haven't forgiven Billy Beane for that.
+greenday103921guns The Mets say thank you very much.
+jethrodassam boston said thank you very much, detroit said thank you very much, and then the mets said thank you very much.
it was price
Wait is it me or is all of his great highlights against the Angels. lol!
I wish they'd have a couple cameras just focused on the fielder throughout the entire throw
DANG! That boy got flame!
Welcome to the Red Sox, Mister Cespedes.
Nice game winner three run homer the other night.
He's been doing his thing.
SI DE CUBA PUDIERABN SALIR LIBREMENTE , LOS CUBANOS LE APAGAMOS LA LUZ A TODOS , SOMOS UNA FABRICA DE TALENTOS EN EL DEPORTE ,LA MUSICA ..ETC
Alexei Fortun Very true.
Alexei Fortun That is 100% true ( SI)
See you July 15th in Minnesota, Yoenis.
Can't wait to see him play the monstah in Fenway this year and at least next year. 24 OF Assists between him and Bradley Jr for the Sox OF
Angels just don't learn do they?
just listening to A's baseball ahhh I can't wait
I was at the game that he threw 2 guys out. Fun fact, Cespedes was only a single away from the cycle. Easily the best game of his career
Thumbs up if he looks the best in an A’s uniform.
The angles must hate Cespedes.
Sliding seems to have slid in quality. One that second one the foot was nowhere near the plate. But the foot is six feet ahead of the hand so why is the runner using his hand?
sometimes I wonder if he purposely baits people by letting it get away lmao
back when the A's were good. Only if the ownership was good
He made the best throw I’ve ever seen literally
I'm praying to the heavens above that my New York Mets sign this amazing player
Puig and Trout might both be better overall, but Cespedes has the best arm by far.
+Amanda Petersen he is beeter then puig belive me or nit and im a dodgers fan but trout no duh
Just call me Throwenis Cespedes!
he misses the ball on purpose to trick them in to thinking they can get more bases or a run in but nopeeee.
+sinep I was thinking that, too. Those balls he "missed" looked intentional. Mind fuck.

This guy needs to litlle time to prep for such a big throw amazing
Yo creo que Yasiel Puig tiene más brazo que Cespedes ,es mi opinión por lo que e visto más fuerza física y más rápido en soltar la bola .
Short bouncer to left and the Angels' third base coach thought it was a good idea to send the runner TWICE? Awful coaching.
Maybe the A's put him at left field because that a lot of guys run on left fielders because they mostly have the weakest arm of the outfield but he had the best arm lol (he's on the Red Sox now).
I'm really going to miss Lester. Cespedes is a beast though.
Don't try to run on cespedeses cannon.
dumb announcer, pillar was signalling reyes to slide away from the catcher cause the throw was coming in, not clapping cause he thought they were going to score another run
Jim Johnson pitching in the 5th inning of a 1 run game, I have to know what the reason is and why that was ever allowed..
That fan in the white tshirt should stay in the stands and not stick his arms and body out into LF....7:17
"...and Scioscia is coming out to argue." *record scratch* "Scioscia is coming out to argue." *record scratch* "Scioscia out to argue."
It's not just the strength of his throws. It's their amazing accuracy.
Quien tendrá mejor brazo para tiros a las bases , Cespedes o Puig?
Pillar was not clapping his hands he was signaling to have him either hook slide or slide more right
Well, I'm happy that Cespedes is on my favorite team, the future World Series winners, the New York Mets.
In ESPN them was talking that Cespedes is trowing the ball at a speed of 102 / 104 mph, and right in place.
He should pitch lol!
I tried to make throws like that when I was playing intramural softball. I usually fucked up my release and threw it to the adjoining field's first baseman. I started throwing to my cutoff man instead. :-/
the guys have
Best arm in baseball
Too bad he can't catch. Two of those throws were on misplayed balls. I will always remember his whiff against KC in the WS to give Escobar an inside the park HR.
"he cant catch?" u must be kidding. ill take that the guy has concentration issues at times, but "cant catch?", give me a break.
CESPEDES! the dude is amazing!
He was my favorite player in Oakland. Wish him the best in NY
Dude! He's retired.
Yo knows!
puig is a child, needs to grow up a bit honestly.
I hate Billy Beene...and yes I'm still mad bro!
Céspedes shines with A's more than with others team
Trading him was the worst decision in team history
Best arm EVER! Clemente, Dave Parker and Bo will have to take back seats on this one.
puig #1
Derek Norris has gotta be having the time of his life
0:33 Cespedes throws out his future teammate
he used to loose the ball on porpouse always
Donaldson and cespedes now would be filthy
If ichiro puig and cespedes were all pn the same team their would be no 2 basebloopers
+Mitchel Yueill lol that would be an amazing team left fielder cespedes right field puig center ichiro lol dont go for a double or tripe or inside the park home run
Billy Beane watches these videos everyday.
He throws strike lighting streaks throws!
U think that the angels would learn
What is this a Derrick Norris video
cespedes bailing out Donaldson
Could you give me tickets
Can't wait to see this in Boston
A lot of those were safe...
Tremenda bazuka !
most of these are the same thing, Cespedes throws out somebody on the Angels when they run like 5 feet out of the baseline
like at 2:15
That's because if you've ever played baseball you would know almost everyone runs out there. You can't just turn 90 degrees and keep a full sprint. Same thing with people running into the outfield when they get an infield single, it's impossible to go from full sprint to a halt like that.
toonhead904 only if t's billy hamilton
partykid9
Maybe, I had the honors of being the fastest player in my high school team and I would end up near the dugout while rounding third.
He was better with the A's
