That throw by Bo Jackson is unreal! No crow hop, almost all arm. That’s pure strength.

When I was a kid, I went to a Pirate game at Forbes Field and saw Clemente get a hit ball off the base of the wall in right field and turn and throw without looking and threw the ball right into the infielder's glove right at the 2nd base bag. The hitter never even had a chance to try and even think about trying to go for a double. I've never seen anything like it and have never forgotten.

Ichiro's throw to 3rd is one of the most beautiful defensive plays I've ever seen

Loved seeing Bo on here a couple times. Hard to forget that dude. What a monster.

I was lucky enough to see Roberto Clemente throw a strike to put out I think it was Frank Robinson trying to advance from 1st to 3rd on a deep single. Although my beloved Os lost the series I will always remember that throw. One of the greatest baseball players to ever put on a uniform. This montage of plays sure overlooked the great one!

Those were some pretty great throws, but the best I ever saw was Roberto Clemente from deep right field at Wrigley. Long base hit with a man on 2nd. Clemente fired home with one foot on the warning track - he released the ball from the very farthest he could extend his arm and I swear the ball never went higher. It looked like a perfectly straight, flat throw, one short bounce on the grass and straight into the catcher's mitt that never had to move. That was more than 50 years ago, but it's still the most amazing throw I ever saw.

I wish we'd had 20 years of Bo Jackson in the bigs. I loved watching him play.

Bo Jackson appears three times and his career was basically wrecked by injury. He was simply the greatest all around athlete.

Absolutely spot on about Clemente, he should be in this clip! In a game in Three Rivers Stadium rarely Seventies I think, he threw out a runner going to home plate from the right field warning track on the fly! Got the carom off the wall, turned and fired a perfect strike. Roberto had probably had the best arm of any right fielder all time, him and Dave Parker also.

My dad saw Clemente vs The Braves at Fulton County Stadium. He said by far the greatest player he ever had seen play baseball. He said his arm strength was beyond compare.

Roberto Clemente made the greatest throws that were ever made. Guided missiles and vapor trails to boot. By far, Clemente had the strongest and most accurate arm in the outfield. He threw all air strikes to any base.

These throws are so underrated in baseball. Guys that can throw that far with accuracy are a rare breed

Dave Parker's throw to Gary Carter in the 1979 All Star Game in Seattle, Washington at The Kingdome, to throw out Brian Downing, in the bottom of the eighth inning, kept the score tied 6-6. The National League, took the lead, in the top of the ninth inning and kept it, when Lee Mazzili, drove in the game- winning run, on a bases-loaded walk from Ron Guidry. Dave Parker was named MVP, of this game because he threw 2 key base-runners, Jim Rice and Brian Downing. A 7-6 victory for the National Leaguers in this classic contest.

Don't forget Rocky Colavito. As an outfielder he recorded 3323 putouts, '123 assists', 26 double plays, and committed 70 errors in 3516 total chances for a .980 career fielding percentage. First AL player ever to have a perfect season defensively, 1965, in the outfield. One of the greats.

I have never seen anyone throw from the outfield like Clemente. It was just another planet. Bo is pretty close though. But Clemente did it for 20 years. Just total grace and power. A beautiful ball player.

I remember a throw by then-Pittsburgh Pirate, Dave ‘ The Cobra’ Parker. I believe that it happened during the All-Star game in Seattle, circa 1979. Parker was playing a ball from right-field, and unleashed a missile (with dead-on precision and accuracy) to home plate, preventing a run. The power and flashes of brilliance that he showed throughout his career were a sight to see.

Career Right Field Assists 1. Clemente, 260 2. Hank Aaron, 186 And not one from Clemente? This montage is sadly misnamed. Clemente's throw in game 6 against the Orioles in 71 was perhaps the most outstanding throw in the history of baseball. Had he not held that runner at 3rd after a shot to the corner of deep right field, the Pirates don't win the world series.

Those of us lucky enough to see Clemente live can never believe he is not in these clips. Cameras must have not worked when he played.

This was good to a point . Don't forget that Dwight Evans played right field for the Red Sox and had a great arm . Lots of players from the other teams really did not try to test his arm . He also helped the Soxs in the the 75 World Series catching two balls that were headed for home runs and he caught them both

Ichiro was built different, man. Those throws weren't just on target. They were pinpoint.

No Clemente, no greatest of all time. Props to Bo Jackson, made 2 of those throws with no run up into the catches and had a fake hip at the time. What a incredible athlete.

How could you not have Roberto Clemente on here? He's by far the GOAT as far as best arms go.

3 Bo Jackson tosses, including the best ever (IMO) ... from the warning track, to home, nailing Harold Reynolds ... to not lose the game. Just supernatural .... Bo was a freak.

I know it was a while ago but "the throw" by Willie Mays is by far the greatest of all from deep center field at the polo grounds. Totally amazing. But then Willie Mays is always amazing. Greatest player of all time, Hands down.

Saw it live on TV , never forget ROBERTO CLEMENTE'S in 71 playoffs.

The great Roberto Clemente made great throws his whole career in the world series

Arguably, the throw to home from the outfield for an out is one of the most electrifying defensive plays in baseball.

The throw by former pitcher Rick Ankiel in deep CF (over 390 feet from Home in front of the 415-foot sign; at 0:36) to 3rd base, was one of the best in the bunch shown. He also made another throw to 3rd from Left-Center field that was almost as good as the one shown.

Clemente game 6 of 1971 World Series deep in right field corner spinning a throwing a strike to home. He did it all the time so great was routine.

Dave Parker at All Star game in Seattle 1979. Epic throw from RF!

Clemente had baseball's best outfield arm. Still holds outfielders record throwing out 5 runners at first in one season. No one tried taking extra bases on him

Great group of great throws! I know you can't show them all, but Roberto Clemente had numerous unbelievable throws from right field.

Ichiro was unbelievable with his throws

Cespedes has the best outfield arm in the game today, however, I remember seeing the great Roberto Clemente play, and Clemente was the best, ever. After he had established himself, it was rare that any NL batter would attempt to take an extra base on any ball hit to Clemente. The Orioles found out in the '71 Series that it just didn't pay to run on The Great One.

Missing Ellis Valentine’s legendary throw from the right field corner to nail the runner at the plate. Greatest outfield throw I’ve ever seen.. For years, it was featured at the end sequence in Mel Allen’s “This Week in Baseball.” Valentine (Montreal Expos) had an extraordinary arm.

The greatest throws I ever saw in a game that I actually watched on tv was during an all star game in the 70’s when Pirates right fielder Dave Parker threw two different guys out at third base in the same inning.

The throws are amazing, but the catches and tags are equally amazing.

Dave Parker 79 ASG!! Two great throws 🔥🔥

I'm old enough to remember the 1974 World Series between the Dodgers and the A's. Game one, A's at bat, one out, runner on third. Jim Wynn is in CF for the Dodgers but isn't throwing well because of a sore arm. A's batter hits a fly to CF; runner at 3rd tags. Joe Ferguson in RF, knowing condition of Wynn's arm, sprints all the way over from RF, leaps in front of Wynn to make the catch, then throws a strike to the plate to nail the runner trying to score. Ball couldn't have been more than 6 feet from Wynn's glove when Ferguson snagged it. Not sure who was more surprised -- Wynn in CF, or the runner who found the ball waiting for him at the plate in Steve Yeager's mitt. You can still find the video.

These throws are all great, but I just want to take a moment to appreciate these catchers lightning fast hands to not only catch the ball, but secure the tag within milliseconds

Clemente’s throw to 3rd in the 71 World Series was the best throw of all time and the guy wasn’t even out. THAT’S how great he was.

Ichiro what a legend man

That throw by Cespedes at 1:00 is truly insane. I remember seeing that live. The level of difficulty on a throw like that, right on the money too. Just crazy.

I remember vividly Larry Walker throwing out guys at 1st base on a pretty regular basis. That always blew my mind as the runner always figured they'd get to 1st on a hit to the outfield. Good video.

Jose Guillen’s throw against the Rockies was almost not human. 400 ft throw on line and hit his 3rd baseman in the numbers. Unreal

Kaline had an arm without equal. He could and did nail many a runner at ANY base. Best right fielder ever imo!

#1 Out Field Arm of all time was Al Kline, 1960’S & 70’s DETROIT TIGERS consistently threw runners out at Home Plate from the Right Field Warning Tracks directly into the Catchers (Bill Freehand in the 70’s) MIT.

Puig, Ankiel and Cespedes are insane, but that throw by Guillen off the wall in the air line drive to 3rd is the best I've ever seen. Surprised they did not include some Clemente throws; the fans used to call strikes or balls on his throws from RF.

i saw Clemente play,, he made throw from rt. field corner,, threw to 3rd on a line,,got him,,,,best arm i ever saw in outfield.

I personally saw Clemente throw a strike to home plate from the edge of the warning track in Pittsburg! That plus the Ozzie Smith barehanded grab-while horizontal to the ground-and throw on a bad hop bouncer up the middle are the two defensive plays in baseball that can never be beaten!

As a former outfielder, these will always be my favourite plays. Used to get to the old Ex in Toronto early just to watch Jesse Barfield throw (back when teams still took infield and outfield warmups!)

Dewey Dwight Evans; The base runner's nightmare.

I kept waiting for this piece to show some of the amazing throws by the late Roberto Clemente. This was more like the "Greatest Outfield Throws of the Last 30 Years." As another person noted, you can't have a list of "All Time" greatest throws without him.

There was a guy named Willie Mays, played for the NY Giants later the SF Giants. You should look him up. He routinely made long accurate throws from the outfield to put runners out. Best you take the "All Time" out of the title.

One name…Clemente. Since 90% of these highlights are from the last 3 decades, an entire 10 minute video could be done on Ichiro, Rick Ankiel, and Alex Gordon. The 3 of them did this every week.

Outstanding selection of unbelievable throws! I now have huge respect for the outfielders who can perform at this level week after week! 😳🤓

Anyone who posts "MLB Greatest Outfield Throws of All time" and doesn't include Roberto Clemente doesn't have a clue bout what a Great Outfield Throw is. Roberto's throws were not only awesome his non-throws were just as good. Seeing batters turn the corner at 1st base headed to 2nd and literally break an ankle/pop a knee when they realized Roberto had scooped it up and was winding up his gun for the throw to second was awesome.

Clemente .... enough said !!

Amazing. This is proof that at least several MLB players hadn't heard the "Never Tag Up On Bo Jackson" rule. But I think my fave throwout at third base was by Ichiro; that guy was surgical!

Can't be greatest throw outs without Dave "The Cobra" Parker!!!

Clemente in 71 WS one of the greatest throws and performances ever.

In game 5 of the 1968 World Series, Willie Horton made the throw of a lifetime to Bill Freehan and he tagged Lou Brock out at the plate. That throw and that tag probably was the difference in game 5 and allowed the Tigers to win game 5, game 6 and game 7..It allowed a team that was down 3 games to 1 to come back and win the World Series. It was throw of a lifetime and it was consequential. All of these on this video are pretty and amazing, but they weren’t record book consequential. People seem to think if it wasn’t in the last 30 years, it isn’t important. Wrong conclusion.

The long throw from the outfield is the most exciting play in baseball; especially to home plate.

To not include The Great One Roberto Clemente, this compilation is bogus. His reputation stopped many runs being scored.

Bo Jackson’s were especially crazy because dude didn’t even have momentum, was completely stood up and shot an absolute piss missile.

No Clemente. No Dave Parker. Your argument is invalid.

Andre Dawson one of the scariest outfielders to ever run on. No one wanted to.

Best arm and most underrated outfielder was Jessie Barfield of the Toronto Blue Jays !! Just a cannon of a arm !

Clemente from the RF wall could routinely hit 3rd or Home, ball incoming at the chest letters. To omit him completely invalidates this compilation of the greatest throws.

4:19-4:29 I'm a Mets fan and witnessed that live as a kid. I was seated in the lower level in right field and couldn't believe it. Video doesn't do it justice. Vladimir Guerrero had an absolute cannon arm. Such a great player. Thanks for sharing this

I remember Dave Winfield picking up a ball from the base of the right field wall at the old Yankee Stadium, turning, and almost flat footed, throwing a strike to the catcher to nail the runner. Jesse Barfield was another right fielder with a cannon. Daryl Strawberry also could throw. In this video, I liked the throw by Yasiel Puig from shallow right to third base. The Ichiro and Bo Jackson throws were also mighty impressive.

One of the most exciting elements of the MLB. Love seeing these big throws.

The best throw I personally saw was from Roberto Clemente at Shea Stadium from the warning track and the Met's runner made it safe by just a second but everyone in the stands was impressed by that near 400 foot throw.

Not a complete collection without footage of Detroit Tigers catcher Bill Freehan blocking the plate and putting the tag on Cardinals speedster Lou Brock in Game Five of the 1968 World Series. Left-fielder Willie Horton nailed him with a tremendous throw. It was the turning point in the Series, as the Tigers were down 3 games to 1 and came back to win in 7 games.

I have loved this game since my earliest memories. It's all but sacred to me, like Church! My Son and I were fortunate indeed to see Bo Jackson at the Kingdome in Seattle. My boy was 10, I was 40. Bo hits a hot smash to 3rd or short, Bo's 30ft over first before the throw gets to first. Bo steals 2nd. No throw, nothing, no defense against this guy. He's sacrificed to 3rd, then, a fly to SHALLOW center, Griffey catches it, but Bo tags and is in the dugout BEFORE the catcher gets Jr's throw! My Boy is going crazy, I am gobsmacked, the crowd is going wild! No exaggeration. This huge man was so fast and powerful, he made some of MLB's greatest players look like little boys! That was after my Boy and I had watched Bo at batting practice. The guy was hitting the upper deck, back wall, AT DEAD CENTER! Bo Jackson was a Superman! Damn that freak injury!

I was too young to appreciate the hype back in Bo Jackson's prime, but now I get it. He was an impressive athlete.

Yes, Clemente had the most assists ever. Also Dave Parker in the All Star game and Joe Ferguson in the World Series

Greatest Outfield Throws of All Time? No Dwight Evans? No Roberto Clemente ? Come-on Man!!!!

Ichiro's throws in person were incredible as they had no loop in them at all it seemed

Andre Dawson best I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. Runners just knew he was there and just didn’t try. The foolish ones got cut down by his laser beam throws. Even late in his career when his knees were shot, if he got to it, he threw a strike.

Al Kaline, Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays would make these type of throws and even better throws on a routine basis.

Dave Parker to Gary Carter - All Star Game. End of discussion

Two of the best outfield arms I've seen in my lifetime - Dave Winfield and Roberto Clemente

Unfortunately, the greatest outfielder of all time was never filmed and, so, was not shown. He was Louis Sockalexis who played center field for Cleveland. He regularly would throw out runners at home plate who tagged up at third base from deep center field. They said his throws were line drives never getting more than 6 feet or so off the ground and no cut off man. Louis was a Passamaquoddy Indian from Maine. He had such a great arm and was so respected that the Cleveland club changed its name from the Cleveland Spiders to the Cleveland Indians in his honor. Too bad there wasn’t a guardian to preserve the honor he was due.

Two words...Roberto Clemente Epic fail

I can remember lots of people giving Bo Jackson grief, in person & on TV for playing pro football along with pro baseball during the 80's. Let me tell you he stepped up big time and kicked ass whenever he needed to... I still get chills when I look at these highlights on KZfaq and know that I saw most of these live during the day as they happened!!!

Great compilation. The talent and skill required to throw a baseball accurately over long distances is among the most exciting parts of the game. This video reminds me how much I miss Bo Jackson.

Even a mediocre old/ancient outfielder like me misses long toss. One of my favorite things of all time. Every one of the tosses on this video are amazing!

REBERTO CLEMENTIE

Where is Roberto Clemente? I used to watch him warm up by throwing strikes across home plate from right field. Greatest arm ever.

Jackson always looked like he was just playing catch,warming up. Amazing.

Shawn Green threw a guy out at 3rd one time and he was at the wall in right field. Best throw I have ever seen. I watched Yankees and Mariners play and Ichiro had a gun, watching Posada warm up with another guy was pretty crazy how far apart they got and the ball just went straight from one guy to the other around 200 feet but that Green throw was insane.

50th All Star game in Seattle. Dave Parker in right field throws out Brian Downing at home. I was in the highest seat in right field in the Kingdome. Parker disappeared then shot a rocket directly to home. Amazing!

Ellis Valentine 1978 -- 25 assists from right field. "This Week in Baseball" used to close the show with a slow motion pan, following the ball, from deep right to Larry Parrish at third for the out. Amazing to watch.

Roberto Clemente vs.Baltimore in the '71 World Series. Best throw ever!

This entire video should consist of nothing but Bo throwing out Reynolds at home plate. GOAT.

You're taking alot shots about Clemente and there might be a simple explanation. You ran on him once...ONCE!!!! and then you learned your lesson. People simply did not run on him because he had the greatest arm ever. I'm going to throw in an honorable mention for Carl Furillo, The Reading Rifle

I remember seeing the vlad guerrero throw live when i was a kid. My eyes basically fell out of my face Became a huge vlad fan cuz of that throw and changed from infield to outfield so i could throw like that too...still trying to get my arm strength up lol

The great Roberto Clemente made unreal throws in Huge Forbes Field all the time, best arm ever.

Don't forget Rocky Colavito. As an outfielder he recorded 3323 putouts, '123 assists', 26 double plays, and committed 70 errors in 3516 total chances for a .980 career fielding percentage
