Two things should never happen...

Right fielders throwing you out at first base on a base hit.
-
Any runner tagging up from third, getting thrown out at the plate when a cutoff man is used. I don’t care how slow the player is. This just isn’t possible because of the extra time it takes.

1.) I got thrown out from RF once in college.
And also once in HS.
2.) can’t attest to this personally. Given my, ahem, speed deficiencies as seen in #1, I wasn’t allowed to tag up very often in marginal situations.

If you know how to do a proper relay, it’s fast enough to get a runner

Yeah that thrown out at first base thing is horse manure. I actually can’t remember it happening more than once or twice in the last 10 years. I will say it’s much better than in 18 or 19 when it happened a lot.

Holy hell! Here we go again. Do any of you? Have any of you ever seen a real baseball game?
Just number 1. Not even going to touch number 2.

I just threw out Mookie at first from RF, tell me when that has ever happened? Getting thrown out at first should only be possible for players with a speed under 20.
It admittedly happens probably too much in this game but I don't think the occasions of it happening are unrealistic. It's usually a slow runner and the OFer playing shallow. With no context given to your Mookie example, perhaps the OFer was playing shallow and it was a really hard hit ball.

There is no context that for Mookie to get thrown out at first from RF, ever. RF was playing normal and it was a ground ball past my 2B on the dive. That is the only reason the 1B covered the bag. I just hit the button out of habit and Mookie was doing that stupid trot that they players do when they strike out on a pitch in the dirt.

Were you a catcher or third baseman?

Getting thrown out at 1B from RF is definitely possible and has happened before.
I will say though, I got thrown out at 1B from RF with Trea Turner running last year. Probably would never see that irl.

More 9-3 outputs...
Should happen more when guys jog slowly on singles. Plenty of RFs just let the guys loaf...

Yeah, and I’ll bet if you “properly” flap your arms like a bird, you can fly too.

Catcher. But I wasn’t even a fatty beef Wellington or anything. I was just slow as [censored].

Bautista’s arm was far above average at that point in his career.

Did u really just say that a relay shouldn’t be able to throw someone out at home???

My main point is that it happens fairly frequently in actual play. Obviously, easier is the fielder has a cannon, but Roger Bernadina near the end of the clip was a journeyman player with a noodle arm (by 2014)...
Put Albert Pujols in the mix, lots of RFs would have a shot at nailing Mr. Zero-speed at first...

Yeah. When tagging up from third base. Impossible.
