This is only RF’s, but I don’t see Hoagy anywhere. I will say the best one throw I ever saw was Ichiro; he fielded a ball off the RF wall and, in one motion, turned and hit the front side of 3B.

He had a great arm. And what about Babe Ruth???? He pitched for pete’s sake!

But it’s probably correct. I remember Van Slyke well, but I did not remember his arm or his intersection with Royals glory.

Once Van Slyke became a full-time outfielder, he showed off one of the most accurate and powerful throwing arms in the majors. So much that the “Slyke Zone” was established at Three Rivers. From 1985 to 1994, he was frequently among the league leaders in outfield assists. From 1985 to 1988, he posted seasons of 13, 10, 11, and 12 assists, respectively. As center fielder for the Pirates, he won five consecutive Gold Gloves from 1988 to 1992. His missile from right field on Dane Iorg’s game-winning 2-run base hit in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series came very close to gunning down the Kansas City Royals’ Jim Sundberg as he slid into home with the winning run. In St Louis, Van Slyke was known to throw 100 mph fastballs in batting practice.

+50 for his career, never had a negative season.

Still not sure whether PIT made the right choice of keeping him over Bonds, though…
