      His throws were pretty good two, if you are referring to he was with the A's and against the Angels. The only thing that marred those IMO is the fact he didn't field it correctly. But still great throws

    • @Terynce

      Funny line, but I think the Cespedes throw was better if for no other reason than it saved a run. Plus the internal buildup due to the initial misplay.

    No hyperbole here: this is one of the greatest throws I have ever seen. When I first viewed the replay, I couldn't believe how much air Laureano got under the throw. But, that's obviously what one has to do from 321 feet away.

      steve b The pump, was to set up the correct arm angle and release to match with his feet. He needed a couple steps to get full momentum on the throw, and pumping the ball into his glove (natural reaction like playing catch and making a long throw) sets up the release. Incredible throw...

    Baseball TV directors have always been clueless when it comes to what to show on the screen on a throw from the outfield. The THROW is the action. The announcer should be telling the viewer where the runner is. This is one of the most incredible throws ever and the viewer had to wait through and entire commercial break and for the a 2nd replay in order to actually see it...and because the director cut back to the runner rounding 2nd and heading back. That's the announcers job. SHOW US THE THROW!!!

    Just saw this on Twitter and (partially due to terrible camera angle) was very confused about what was going on. Can someone please explain why Young was running so far back to first? It was a short clip on Twitter so was confused as to why it looked like he was running the wrong way round the bases (as it didn’t look like he’d only got a few steps and then turned back) and now having seen the full clip including him literally rounding second, I’m even more confused.

  • @coopers1716

    To everybody upset with the camera man, you are angry at the wrong person. The guy at the replay station could have shown literally any of the other 10-12 camera angles on that throw but he absolutely botched it. I don't know their control room, but can almost guarantee you that he was publicly flamed by an angry director over an open comm line that the entire production team could hear.

    I love this clip, but I’ve been bitter towards Eric Young Jr. since I was 17 and was invited to a college baseball showcase at the meadow lands.
    I was easily top 3 at the show case In hitting, fielding, and arm strength for 2nd Baseman. E.Y. Jr was as raw as they come as if he just started playing a couple years prior. Bottom of the group in fielding and throwing, but he could hit alright, not good, but had a compact swing built to run out ground balls and dinkers. We got paired up first group to run the 40 yard dash which seemed as tho they switched it to a 40 instead of 90 feet just to see him. I could run decent, played RB in H.S. Football and stole 14 bases that year as a Junior. When we took off I felt good for about 20 feet and then I saw him just run away from me to the point where I gave up well before the finish in disgust and my time sucked. Every coach in that building went to talk to E.Y. Jr and everything I’d excelled at to that point was erased. 2 coaches came over to say Id be a good fit for their teams, but didn’t extend any immediate scholarship money. One went so far as to say we like what we saw and we don’t really need you to run🤦🏻‍♂️. I didn’t end up at any schools from that showcase. And neither did E.Y. Jr who was supposedly committed to Villa Nova for football. He got drafted instead in the 30th round by the Rockies, quit football and just worked to become a utility OF pinch runner. Moral is it’s good to have a dad who played pro ball and run a 4.4 40 in high school.

    Anybody remember when Bo Jackson threw a bullet from the warning track to the catcher at home plate and nailed a runner trying to score from 3rd?

      Actually the runner was on 1st and was on his way to steel second when the ball was hit to deep left field. He was a fast runner and had a good head start and still was gunned down by Bo Jackson.

    That was a very nice throw. There would be many more plays like this if baserunners all ran the bases as carelessly as this fellow. Yeah, the throw was 321 feet but the base runner had to run about 135 feet with a right turn along the way. Thus, a 'mortar' round got him. Much more exciting is the 'cannon' throw from the outfield to 3rd or home that results in a tag play on a runner trying to advance 90 feet..
