This program is amazing. I love baseball and Matt is teaching me so much about the insider stuff.
Cool story about Machado!
Roberto Clemente, Rocky Colavito, Dave Parker, Dwight Evans.
I absolutely love your first hand input man. This stuff is so awesome to hear. Thank you.
I’ve seen andrelton Simmons live. That was something else.
I wish I have!
Glenn Wilson from the Phillies had a pretty strong arm. Was a right fielder.
Daaayum.. Appreciate your ability to convey your memories to us. Fantastic...
Rocky Colavito could easily heave balls over a 420 foot fence. Bob Feller said Rocky had the strongest arm he'd ever seen.
Nick Markakis was actually drafted as a pitcher and was placed in the outfield. That's why he was in right. That's why his arm is so strong.
Better keep some room on that list for me!!! #7
Ill be there in like 7 years probably.
Of all the guys you have played with which ones had the most potential or guys you saw in your career who had the ability to be superstars?
Yasiel Puig, Ichiro Suzuki have crazy arms
For sure!!!
Cespedes as well
The guys I always remembered as a Jays fan is Raul Mondesi and Shawn Green. If memory serves me, I think Mondesi had a tattoo of a cannon on his arm.
Biggest difference between the two was you actually had some idea of where Green's throw was landing. Mondesi had power, but it could hit home plate with no bounce or end up somewhere behind the third base dugout with a fan.
Do infielders and outfielders pronate
Yes everyone does. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Gio played with the Sacramento River Cats. Great video!
Yup that was the team! Thanks!
Who had the nastiest breaking balls that you played against or with?
Dave Parker
As an Orioles fan Mannys arm is awesome not only fast but accurate also. Manny makes the most difficult plays look easy.
Andrelton Simmons arm is the best I’ve seen, effortless absolute canon. Has thrown people out from shallow left behind 3rd. Guy is ridiculous
For sure! I wish I got to play against him!
Great vid. Awesome stories. Although, a little before your time, one of the best arms and athletes ever, Bo Jackson.... 🤯
i love your channel bro reminds of ball in college
Dave Winfield could throw absolute lasers from the warning track to home plate on the Fly
My favorite is Yadier Molina, that dude has a canon and unlike alot of catchers he's not gonna hold on to a ball in fear of making an error. There will be a dude on third and if that guy gets to far off the bag he's gonna throw it and keep him in check and the same goes for first. There is videos on UA-cam showing off his arm and their so incredibly to watch him make amazing plays you would think to be to risky or impossible.
68 year old geezer here. Strongest arm: RF Rocky Colavito. Not always the most accurate, but definitely the strongest.
Haha I'll have to check it out!
Antonelli Baseball Rocky threw a number of balls over the centerfield fence from home plate. His throws from the outfield were low line drives like Ichiro. I think that Ichiro had the greatest arm when you consider strength and accuracy. In my time, you also had Roger Maris, Dave Parker, Roberto Clemente, Al Kaline. Here is a link regarding the longest throws. Rocky is in the article:
prestonjg.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/the-history-of-the-record-for-baseballs-longest-thrown-a-tale-that-involves-john-hatfield-honus-wagner-sheldon-lejeune-don-grate-rocky-colavito-and-glen-gorbous-among-others/
Ian Desmond has a great arm when he was with the nationals.
It seems like guys that have serious hand cannons cock their arms back further and rotate further and faster than average guys. Superior throwing mechanics I guess?
Rafael Furcal
Beau Jackson.. On YT was under 'The Throw'
Two words...Shawn Dunston. Nuff said!
For sure! Thanks for watching!!!
Cliff Bowen absolutely
Thanks Anto, very cool!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’m bumping hard to that new intro
Harry Prince its not new
Growing up, you could go early to games and after batting practice teams would do fielding practice. Coaches hit to outfielders and had to throw to second, then third, then home. So great to see those with great - accurate arms. Clemente was the classic. White Sox had young outfielder Mike Hershberger who could really throw and was relatively small.
Stockton Ports?
I find it awesome that you played in MLB and still awed and humbled at the talent you played around. Thanks for the videos!
BO JACKSON ! = HAND CANNON
Does anybody remember Charles Gipson? He played for the Mariners for a few years in the 90s, so he was kind of overshadowed by a bunch of other guys. Anyway, his arm was beyond ridiculous. To say that he could throw a bullet from right field to 3rd base doesn't even do it justice. I tried to find the highlight on youtube, but I can't.
What do you think teams could have done better to aid your development?
great question
Mark Grace said he would rather face Nolan Ryan, than catch the ball, from short, when Shawon Dunston, really, turned it loose to first. Great videos, thank you.
That's awesome!
Matt Chapman baby
He is a stud for sure! Thanks for watching our stuff and commenting!
What's your take on Kevin Kiermaier from tampa
I remember seeing a game in ‘94 with Marquis Grissom of the Expos. This guy caught the ball deep center field at Dodger Stadium and launched a absolute missile to the catchers chest to keep the runner on third from tagging and scoring. The crowd cheered but that throw silence them. My Dad and I just looked each other like wow!
Haha that's awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
It’s the Stockton ports
Hey guy! Just caught your videos about a week or so ago. In truth, I never thought much about what the life of an MLB player was all about. Outside of playing a ton of "D" League Softball (slow pitch), and hours and hours of Status Pro Baseball, the subjects never came to me. I find these videos informational, and personally entertaining. I'm a person who was always SO FAR from being a great athlete it never concerned me... but your narrative I find engrossing... Thank you.
Jackie Bradley jr is crazy to see in person the throw he made was worth the price admission
my favorite team sweeped the dodgers today for the first time since 1976
THE EdicMan it’s not too hard when they only have half their team. Even the padres were winning a handful of games against them. - not a dodgers fan
Being a dodgers fan doesn't have anything to do with it and I know they don't have many of there good players but Kershaw doesn't doning that good amyway
If you are a Reds fan you gotta remember Cesar Geronimo. Absolute cannon for an arm.
Austin Guidry Don't cry or make excuses like a pantywaist. Your team got their ass handed to them. Take it like a man.
The EdicMan *swept
sesbades when he was an outfeilder in oakland.....holy shit that guy could thro
When Ellis Valentine was with Quebec in the EL, he nailed Omar Moreno at the plate on a single to Right field and Moreno was on second. It was a rope thrown 300 feet. Tim Murtaugh was player-manager on the team, he being Danny's son. Tim said Valentine's arm was as strong as Roberto Clemente.
Matt, Gio played for the Sacramento rivercats in 2008 and part of 2009, same time you were in Portland.
Yup that's right! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Jose Bautista had a few really nice outfield assists in his day
For sure!
Love the video. Do more of these please! Ever play with Logan Forsythe? Is he a cool/nice guy?
Will do! Yes played with him. Good guy!
Can you make a video on best catchers gear
Shawn Dunston SS Cubs
Cannon! Thanks for watching our vids and commenting I appreciate it!!
Stockton ports
Gio never played for the Ports. He was in the A's AAA system or majors, at all times, after the A's traded Nick Swisher for him. Rivercats is the answer Matt was looking for.
Thanks Matt, great content. Vladimir Guerrero when he was with the Angles made one of the most amazing throws I've ever seen. What an arm.
Did you ever play against or with Kelly Gulledge from bama. He was a teammate in high school and that dude had a cannon. His clock time was something like 1.9-2.0 on his throw downs. Absolute stud.
The Stockton Ports?
JAVY!!!
Sacramento River Cats of Pacific Coast League? That’s AAA.
Yes that is it!!!
Great stadium. I’ve played there.
Its cool hearing about the orioles considering im an o's fan
Nice!!! Thanks for watching!
Np👍
Markakis was one of the top JUCO pitchers in the country and also a strong pro pitching prospect. Apparently he was 23-3 with 258 Ks in two years.
It does not look like Gio Gonzales played in the Cal League, he played A+ in the CAR League in 2005 for CWS. Gonzales was in the Southern League in 2007. Maybe it is someone else you are thinking of.
I am in Baltimore so I have had the privilege of watching Machado for several years until he was dealt. I am 47 and been a baseball fan my whole life. Machado is the best 3rd baseman I have ever seen. He would amaze you almost every game.
Did you see Brooks? I grew up in Towson. He was "The Human Vacuum."
@@robertrock8778 Only on film, that is why I give my age. Brooks was great, my dad tells me all the time and I am a big fan of his from the highlight reels, but I got to watch Machado every night for years.
Tony Hamilton here’s my All-Time O’s lineup:
RHP: Palmer
LHP: McNally
Reliever: Olson
C: Dempsey
3B: Brooks
SS: Ripken
2B: Alomar
1B: Murray
LF: Singleton
CF: Jones
RF: Frank
@@robertrock8778 You forgot Sidney Ponson! :-)
Tony Hamilton yikes! Though a colorful guy, he was 73-85 in 8 yrs in BAL, career-wise he was 91-113.
His best year with the O’s he was 14-6 with an ERA of 3.77.
its funny because i have had this conversation many times with my grandfather. i argued guerrero and he argued farillo. the only thing we agreed on was that oneill would have been in the conversation if not for that arm injury when the reds put him on the mound. neither of us is irish obviousely
Hands down...Rick Ankiel - dead center to home plate on the fly...had two putouts in one game from the fence to home...on the fly!!!!
In 2008 Gio Gonzalez played at AAA Sacramento for the River Cats
Yup that's right! Thanks for watching!
Ichiro for his size had an insane arm
Antonelli how did you deal with a sore arm when you played?
T-bone Twan poles
He never got sore
If your throwing mechanics are wrong you'll experience PAINNN
If you overdo it a shitton you will experience PAINNN
If you have both you will experience BOLTS IN YOUR ARM
But basically you wanna ice your arm, rest it for 3 days, and get back in it. Just don't overdo it to much, work yourself into it if your new.
Do a cleats video
This would be cool mini-series of sorts. You know, best glove you've seen, best single pitch, fastest guy and so on.
Will do!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Strongest I have ever seen in the infield is Furcal and i've been to hundreds of Major League games..
Did Matt fucken Bush have a better arm than furcal? Or at least equal?
Furcal definitely had a cannon. Bush had a cannon as well. Tough to say.
In high school I played against a big hard throwing left-handed pitcher named Randy Johnson. He threw really hard and I was choking up on a 28" bat with a big barrel. I got lucky and got a hit up the middle, a line drive right through the box. I was standing on first and wasn't even leading off and he threw to first. I stood there and watched it coming. At the last second the first baseman pulled his glove down and the ball hit me right in the chest. You could see the seam marks on my chest for days. True story. No, it wasn't that Randy Johnson, but this guy did go to triple A.
Who were the fastest guys you’ve ever played against?
Bartolo colon
Oh nevermind thought it said fattest
peter griffin Does it matter? Fattest or fastest, the answer is still Bartolo Colon.
Daniel K. This is true
I'll make a video!
Being a college player who got hurt and is still hurt how did you deal with arm pain if at all and how did you avoid it? Throw more, throw less, etc?
I never had too bad of arm pain. When I did, I would get stretched out mostly. That always helped. Good luck!!!
Stockton Ports or Visalia Oaks?
When you get caught up or down what happens to your equipment your bats your spikes do you get to keep everything do all bats go with you and clubs or is it just go up to the next level
Matt - when I was a Little Leaguer I saw Roberto Clemente (in the old St. Louis Cardinals Sportsmans Park - I'm really old!) field a base hit to right field and throw to third. The ball left Clemente's hand at shoulder height and I swear to you the ball never varied up or down and went straight to the third basemen on the line and a waist-high strike. I've never seen anything like that since!!
Haha that is crazy! Thanks for sharing!!
That's a fact! He was amazing
Gio Gonzales played for Sacramento.
Yup that is correct!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
What is the farthest youve ever seen a ball thrown? I remember the video of Jackie Bradley throwing from home to the seats in left center at Fenway. What other far throws have you seen?
Most don't try to throw as far as they possibly can. But I'd say watching pitchers throw it poll to poll in long toss
Were you thinking of the River cats, they play at Raley field
Yup that's them!!! Thanks!
Stockton Ports, or Modesto Nuts maybe?
Rick Ankiel!
Pitchers you have faced that had the nastiest stuff? Was Verlander one?
Only faced him like 2 times. I have a video that though. Thanks for commenting and watching our videos!!!
You know who surprised Me with his arm? Gary Sheffield; obviously, his bat speed was something else, but I saw him make a throw at Dodger Stadium, uphill, from deep in left, and I said "Damn."
Very cool!!! Thanks for watching our videos!
Ichiro had a rocket
Man as a Orioles fan I'm really missing the markakis ,Jones and machado's days. Thanks for this video even though I'm a year late.
They came really close to being great with that team. They just didn't have shutdown starting pitching, and without that it's very hard to go deep in the playoffs.
Stockton ports?
Did you play with Jeff Allison? I just saw that you were from Peabody.
Yes we played together most of our childhood. Thanks for watching our stuff!!!
@@AntonelliBaseball Thanks. I was just curious. I binge watch your videos. I find them infinitely interesting. Great content.
Sacramento rivercats!
I looked up Gio Gonzalez at baseball reference. His minor league career consisted of playing for the Chicago WS, Phi and Oakland minor league affiliates. Doesn't say the team names though.
ABSOLUTE CANNON
Haha yup!!!!!
Did You ever play or be on the same team as Anthony Rizzo when he was on The Padres?
I can name one person in particular that I met at a tryout for the Kansas City Royals. This guy named Elton Pollock had the most amazing cannon I had ever seen. He made Andruw Jones and Raul Mondesi (the two greatest arms in MLB at that time) look weak. Elton was in his Senior year at Presbyterian College in South Carolina. He went on to play 3 years in the Pirates Minor League system. He is currently the head coach of his alma mater Presbyterian, where he just achieved his 300th win as the manager. Elton is an absolute great person as well.
I’m hoping it’s not the person in the thumbnail… Ok just watched the video, I’m glad there were 4 others mentioned ;) Im just not a fan of Mr. Manny.
Fantastic content!
What is your favourite drink when you play baseball???
Charles Hsieh chocolate milk
Rum
Gatorade. He said it in one of his videos.
A double A guy named Clint Coulter has a cannon. Idk if he will make the show but hes a nice guy with a stupid strong arm
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Lol that’s intro song is terrible
The intro music is loud and jarring. Some people like myself have to use speakers in noise-sensitive environments. I am hesitant to watch the videos at certain times because I have to take extra precautions, so I am less inclined to watch them. I enjoy the content and insights greatly otherwise.
Bobby Bonds. One of the strongest arms in baseball, but still the 2nd best arm in his outfield... next to his kid's Godfather in centerfield.
Jonathan Schoop, who came up with the Orioles, now with the Twins, has the strongest arm of any 2nd baseman, I've ever seen.
He does have a great arm. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Thank you replying! Quick question did you have a chance of playing with Khalil Greene. The guy was a beast at Clemson and I know that he played right around the time you played I believe.
What about Raul mondesi
