Not all the time. I've thrown someone out from right field a couple of times.

If your 2nd baseman dives for a ball that gets through the 1st baseman will cover 1st expecting a throw from 2nd

I defend this game a lot, but not this! Base running is terrible and the runners speed is tuned way too low. In showdowns I stopped tagging up if the runner has less then 70 speed ( which is higher than Betts). Yelich would never get thrown out on a high double off the wall... and Sandburg got caught stealing by Sanchez on a 2-0 count, low slider, and I had an extra lead. How else am I supposed to steal?!?

More 9-3 outputs...
Should happen more when guys jog slowly on singles. Plenty of RFs just let the guys loaf...
Bautista’s arm was far above average at that point in his career.
If I remember right, it was one of these throws to first where he hurt his shoulder and never had that arm strength again.

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.
I did played some organized baseball back in Arizona and got thrown out from right field a bunch of times. I am a catcher/corner infielder not fat but I am super slow to get out of the box lol. It got so bad that one time a RF who threw me out once before, was playing LF and successfully threw me out from LF. It was all on me, It didn't even cross my mind he was going to attempt a throw. After all, I was a part time truck driver for FedEx and they were laughing saying I was pulling doubles which at the time I was in real life and in baseball.

Did u really just say that a relay shouldn’t be able to throw someone out at home???
Yeah. When tagging up from third base. Impossible.
Have you ever played baseball?
You guys can’t read, can you? And thanks to the poster before you for the you tube clip, but What part of a guy TAGGING UP FROM THIRD BASE ON A FLY BALL TO THE OUTFIELD, do you not understand?
The clip is of Altuve getting thrown out on a relay after advancing several bases.

If someone can show me a clip of a runner tagging up from third base on a fly ball to the outfield, and getting thrown out at the plate by a CUTOFF man (two throws), I’ll eat my words.
But good luck with finding that.

Of all the problems in this game ….. this should be of least concern!!!!

Altuve was running at full speed and just rounding third as the first throw was made.
If you can't see that such a relay is even more impressive than if Altuve had been tagging up from third base, well... that just doesn't seem like honest discussion to me.

Yeah, you’re right, it’s not a sac fly, but it is a relay. Think about it, Alvarez barely misses a home run but Kiermaier and Adamas relay perfect laser beam throws from center field.

I threw a guy out at 1b from left field in hs.

Clearly the guy has a bazooka attached to his shoulder!
