Top 10 Outfield throws in MLB History

My dad still talks about the time Clemente chased a ball into the corner of right field and fired a shot straight to home plate even though he couldn't see home plate from that spot in the corner. The ball flew over the heads of fans in the bleachers that jutted out, straight to the catcher standing on the plate. Greatest throw he'd ever seen.

I remember watching Ichiro warm up before a game playing catch. The other guy just kept going farther and farther and farther back. And every single throw from him was a strike. On a line. It was ridiculous.

Man, that throw from Ichiro was truly a "laser beam." Literally five feet off the ground all the way. Impressive.

Absolutely love Clemente- 5 tool player, 3,000 hits, Won 2 WS, 1 WS MVP, 12 Golden Gloves, 1st Latino into HOF, 1966 NL MVP. Cheated out of many other awards. GOAT to many.:thanksdoc::thanksdoc: saved the best for last..

One thing to keep in mind regarding the Clemente clips, most are from the 71’ WS when he was 37 years old. During his prime, there is very little footage of him throwing out baserunners. Games weren’t televised like they are now. Not to mention, runners stopped running on him sometime around 1960 or so. Anyone who saw him play will never forget it. He was something else man.

Many moons ago the Dodgers were playing the Pirates in LA. Man on second, one out. Dodger hits a high fly to deep right center field. Clemente, running as fast as he could caught it just in front of the 390' sign. The Dodger tagged and ran as fast as he could. Clemente threw him out by 10'. The crowd, 50,000+ was dead silent for a few seconds. Vin Scully is excitedly calling the catch and throw as one of the greatest he's ever seen. A few seconds later the Dodger crowd started applauding and seconds later Clemente was getting a standing ovation. That was at least 55 years ago and I can see it perfectly in my mind. Simply amazing!

Not only did Ichiro have an elite arm like many shown here, he had the fastest glove to release which means a lot. His setup and then catch and throw in one motion was second to none.

I was born in 68, so I was not old enough to really see Mr. Clemente. My dad often told us about how he could throw the ball. He told us that he threw so hard, he did not need a big arch on his throw in his prime, it would come in almost level. I wish I could have seen him in person, as we live to this day in Pittsburgh, but he died on his humanitarian mission when I was just 4 1/2 years old.

Ichiro looks like he’s throwing a pitch from really far away. It has very little rise. Amazing

4:59 this was only Ichiro's 8th game in the MLB. Terrence Long was probably aware of Ichiro and decided to test him. Also he's safe on anything but a perfect throw.

Liked how the clip before the Clemente clip, the broadcaster says "shades of Clemete in right field", and the we get to see the Clemente clip.

So right that they ended with Roberto. I grew up in the 'Burgh and watched every chance I got. Forbes Field was not a little park and right field was a monster. Such a great man.

Thanks for the Clemente throws. I began watching him in 1955 as rookie and have never in all my decades of watching baseball seen anyone as great as him. I have idolized him for years and it has been worth it.

Loved seeing the tribute to Clemente at the end!

This video has brought tears to my eyes. As a child, I was one one the hundreds of kids who packed the right field seats in Forbes Field and watched Roberto throw out several who tried to score from third on a long fly. As the ball was hit out to Roberto, we would all stand and wait for that moment when he would catch that ball and pull the trigger. When there was no throw to make, he would toss the ball into the stands and smile. We loved him.

Ichiro used to be a pitcher, so he has a really strong arm with accuracy

That guillen throw is amazing. Always been one of my favorites to watch. The speed on it, distance, no hop, accuracy

I live close to Pittsburgh and had the honor to watch Clemente for 11 years. We would always sit in right field hoping to see one of his almost super human throws. It was a sad, sad night when he died!

I was born and raised in PR and grew up playing baseball...that was in the '80s and we still idolized Roberto though I never had the honor to see him play. His accomplishments as a player are simply amazing, absolutely and incredible arm, 3,000 hits, some power, 12 Gold Gloves, and high baseball IQ...but I am even prouder of his accomplishment as a human being, always thinking of others and helping them out. May he RIP.

Oh man Clemente winds all the way up, plants, then fires. Beautiful throwing motion. Kids need to watch that on repeat
