Best arm in MLB? Ramon Laureano's Insane Arm

A's OF Ramon Laureano has displayed a cannon so far in his MLB career! Here are some of his greatest hits already.

[@jimc.goodfellas226]

It's great to see that the whole "throwing guys out from the outfield" thing isn't a lost art form..

[@sethfinberg348]

It's good to defense being valued.

[@beaugrand89]

Why would it be? Lol

[@bionicsjw]

@@sethfinberg348 Absolutely. Everyone likes dingers and great hitting, but defense is way more exciting to me.

[@padraig5335]

[@datad546]

Also give probs to Chapman for finishing those tough plays and picks both are spectacular defenders wow!!🔥

[@rudy4626]

Props*

[@yoloking777]

chapman has one of the best defensive fundamentals. He tags them so well, i don't know how he can somehow always catch the ball and only need to move his glove a little to apply the tag. Like Javy baez always moves his arm a lot to tag. Chapman positions himself so the ball travels to the place he tags

[@seaeff6428]

Best 3rd baeseman in the league. Yeah I said it. Arenado actually agrees.

[@Anthony-sn9kl]

Indeed

[@M80mayhem]

Crazy thing is the arm strength isn't what's most impressive. The accuracy while throwing that hard is mind blowing.

[@nickjohnson8495]

Most major leaguers can throw as hard as they can pretty accurately. His arm strength is unmatched though

[@solracroche79]

BOTH!!!

[@DiegoHernandezLikesBikes]

Some of those throws are near 90mph. I'm an A's fan, just hope he doesn't overwork it, would hate to see him injure his strong arm.

[@demetriusmiddleton1246]

Honestly, having played The Outfield, the speed of his release is just as impressive as his arm strength!

[@sebdeef1086]

Aaron Hicks, 105 mph throw to home plate. The throw laureano did to first base is overrated. There’s a lot of outfielders that can do that, the only difference is from right field warning track to third.

[@theWZZA]

Players like Laureano make you want to go to the ballpark

[@TheUltimateHobo]

matt chapman deserves alot of credit on these

[@Go1US1Marines]

These plays are amazing, and are among the most exciting in baseball. I used to play in an adult recreational league, and as a catcher was privileged just once to be on the receiving end of a ball thrown from center field for the put out. The fielder used to be a pitcher in college, so he had the arm to pull it off. It was the most exciting play I had ever been a part of, and the center fielder made it look easy.

I’m really glad we are making noise thus far even if we aren’t in first. The potential we have to make the postseason is present but we gotta keep at it. This is the most fun I’ve had watching this team in awhile and I couldn’t be happier

I watched springer tag on him from 3rd on a tag play wasn’t deep an couldn’t throw him him out he has a decent arm but I’ll take Marisnick reddick brantley an springer all day

[@athleticsfan_2274]

You call that a decent arm? Search up the rob from left centerfield and throwing it over the firstbasmans head by about 20-30 feet. Your wrong man

[@Jose_Hunters_EWF_Remixes]

(0:47) What is so amazing about the way he nailed Betts at 3rd is that he was running near full speed when he threw it, and made it look much easier than it actually was. He didn't even have to stop and plant himself

[@baseballjen]

He's actually done that more than once - at least a few time last year - laser to third - he did it to end the top of the 9th in his MLB debut and then came up and walked it off for his first MLB hit. Crazy!

[@Motoicon]

Always been a big fan of the A's since I was a young boy. I love how they rely on their farm system and keep their payroll low. Sure it probably means a few less playoffs and World series, but I think they provide a very competitive ball club almost every year with some home grown talent that they make into stars...(Albeit for other teams) that are exciting to watch...

[@mycoolgameingchanneld6606]

I'm an A's fan and I know one thing about this team (2019). We have the infield that all other teams wish they had. However, we also have a center fielder that has a CANNON for an arm. They also call him 'laser arm' and you can't disagree with that. He's a joy to watch and we got him for a song from Houston. Their loss and our gain. Note to all of baseball: DON'T RUN ON RAMON!
