Nick Markakis was actually drafted as a pitcher and was placed in the outfield. That's why he was in right. That's why his arm is so strong.

[@DrGalazkiewicz]

Sacramento River Cats of Pacific Coast League? That’s AAA.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yes that is it!!!

[@ravensgreg603]

Great stadium. I’ve played there.

[@brycemckenna8642]

Great vid. Awesome stories. Although, a little before your time, one of the best arms and athletes ever, Bo Jackson.... 🤯

[@t-bonetwan1654]

Antonelli how did you deal with a sore arm when you played?

[@boneshow00]

T-bone Twan poles

[@icepick859]

He never got sore

[@rslwannabe9475]

If your throwing mechanics are wrong you'll experience PAINNN If you overdo it a shitton you will experience PAINNN If you have both you will experience BOLTS IN YOUR ARM But basically you wanna ice your arm, rest it for 3 days, and get back in it. Just don't overdo it to much, work yourself into it if your new.

[@MRoss623]

I’ve seen andrelton Simmons live. That was something else.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I wish I have!

[@patriotsrule929]

Who had the nastiest breaking balls that you played against or with?

[@paulwalker5703]

Yasiel Puig, Ichiro Suzuki have crazy arms

[@AntonelliBaseball]

For sure!!!

[@Ac1DMoDz]

Cespedes as well

[@kevinkeegan7054]

Who were the fastest guys you’ve ever played against?

[@petergriffin-xg9pe]

Bartolo colon

[@petergriffin-xg9pe]

Oh nevermind thought it said fattest

[@danielkruschke6571]

peter griffin Does it matter? Fattest or fastest, the answer is still Bartolo Colon.

[@petergriffin-xg9pe]

Daniel K. This is true

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I'll make a video!

[@DarthSmirnoff]

The guys I always remembered as a Jays fan is Raul Mondesi and Shawn Green. If memory serves me, I think Mondesi had a tattoo of a cannon on his arm. Biggest difference between the two was you actually had some idea of where Green's throw was landing. Mondesi had power, but it could hit home plate with no bounce or end up somewhere behind the third base dugout with a fan.

[@OxfordD1ct1onary]

my favorite team sweeped the dodgers today for the first time since 1976

[@GuiddTHEKiddISback]

THE EdicMan it’s not too hard when they only have half their team. Even the padres were winning a handful of games against them. - not a dodgers fan

[@OxfordD1ct1onary]

Being a dodgers fan doesn't have anything to do with it and I know they don't have many of there good players but Kershaw doesn't doning that good amyway

[@carldeanwilliamsdvm6162]

If you are a Reds fan you gotta remember Cesar Geronimo. Absolute cannon for an arm.

[@carldeanwilliamsdvm6162]

Austin Guidry Don't cry or make excuses like a pantywaist. Your team got their ass handed to them. Take it like a man.

[@patricklord2575]

The EdicMan *swept

[@SeanOMatic]

I remember Vlad Guerrero Jr. hitting a home run and thinking that if if his Dad was in the seats, he could probably mail the ball all the way back home.

[@cj6814]

My favorite is Yadier Molina, that dude has a canon and unlike alot of catchers he's not gonna hold on to a ball in fear of making an error. There will be a dude on third and if that guy gets to far off the bag he's gonna throw it and keep him in check and the same goes for first. There is videos on KZbin showing off his arm and their so incredibly to watch him make amazing plays you would think to be to risky or impossible.

[@trays7015]

Andrelton Simmons arm is the best I’ve seen, effortless absolute canon. Has thrown people out from shallow left behind 3rd. Guy is ridiculous

[@AntonelliBaseball]

For sure! I wish I got to play against him!

[@royrezek231]

As an Orioles fan Mannys arm is awesome not only fast but accurate also. Manny makes the most difficult plays look easy.

[@jojoxlt]

I absolutely love your first hand input man. This stuff is so awesome to hear. Thank you.

[@Frizzlefry7]

I like your vids. Although every time I hear Bryce Harper's name I think of a giant bottle of Douche.

[@tzilla8]

Stockton ports

[@SeanOMatic]

Gio never played for the Ports. He was in the A's AAA system or majors, at all times, after the A's traded Nick Swisher for him. Rivercats is the answer Matt was looking for.

[@masonsmith3453]

Ian Desmond has a great arm when he was with the nationals.

[@andrewlzn6]

Rafael Furcal for sure has to be on a list best arms by position players.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Definitely!!

[@wesvirginia4611]

I remember him hitting 97 on the gun on one of those occasions where they put him into pitch during some garbage time

[@ForwardFeeling]

[@chrispadgett6521]

Harry Prince its not new

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

What about Rick ankiel? You didn’t play or see him in Washington? I saw some of his throws; absolute canon. Pitcher turned CF

[@polishtheturdmickelson5473]

Yeah, he could flat out gun down guys. No cut off man needed.

[@brandonpowell3254]

Man i remember seeing him absolutely bomb as a pitcher there for a while, and then just gun down fools in the outfield

[@kevinmcgrath7509]

Jim Edmonds was a freak. He made Shawon look like a high schooler in the outfield. Torii Hunter Andru Jones

[@jonathanb.8791]

Roberto Clemente, Rocky Colavito, Dave Parker, Dwight Evans.

[@KMason-zn3sc]

Gio played with the Sacramento River Cats. Great video!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yup that was the team! Thanks!

[@moneymarty1]

Hands down...Rick Ankiel - dead center to home plate on the fly...had two putouts in one game from the fence to home...on the fly!!!!

[@kimnora53]

You guys remember Shawn Dunston? Look him up

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I do remember him, never got to see him play though. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@alaskaguyd963]

That's who I was going to mention. He had a gun and he knew it. He loved to show off his arm on routine plays from SS. Cory Snyder also comes to mind.

[@vaughnmild4467]

Cub..

[@DaBrowns33]

I find it awesome that you played in MLB and still awed and humbled at the talent you played around. Thanks for the videos!

[@sean1849]

What's your take on Kevin Kiermaier from tampa

[@brucetowell3432]

Rocky Colavito could easily heave balls over a 420 foot fence. Bob Feller said Rocky had the strongest arm he'd ever seen.

[@alexbarron6504]

Stockton Ports?

[@jims.1917]

Yeah Manny can do everything except hustle!

[@kochisland2424]

Hey Matt I know this is a delayed response but tulo from the Rockies and even his first season with the blue jays had a disgusting arm

[@MAgaSUXX]

I looked up Matt Bush, geezus, you need to take a holiday and read the story....prison for running some dude over in the middle of his career...for like 39 months....!!! But he was a player.

[@JNNK-fs7bs]

This program is amazing. I love baseball and Matt is teaching me so much about the insider stuff.

[@jimmurphy9904]

I’m hoping it’s not the person in the thumbnail… Ok just watched the video, I’m glad there were 4 others mentioned ;) Im just not a fan of Mr. Manny.

[@cliffbowen6258]

[@AntonelliBaseball]

For sure! Thanks for watching!!!

[@kimnora53]

Cliff Bowen absolutely

[@genoolsavick2601]

Daaayum.. Appreciate your ability to convey your memories to us. Fantastic...

[@44westwind]

It seems like guys that have serious hand cannons cock their arms back further and rotate further and faster than average guys. Superior throwing mechanics I guess?

[@mrbigpoops3237]

The intro music is loud and jarring. Some people like myself have to use speakers in noise-sensitive environments. I am hesitant to watch the videos at certain times because I have to take extra precautions, so I am less inclined to watch them. I enjoy the content and insights greatly otherwise.

[@cdrum5994]

Glenn Wilson from the Phillies had a pretty strong arm. Was a right fielder.

[@russdawg7665]

Of all the guys you have played with which ones had the most potential or guys you saw in your career who had the ability to be superstars?

[@MikeHunt-ik3rg]

Bo Jackson #cannon#beast

For sure!!!

[@caseykunz7800]

Harold Reynolds would prob agree with you.

[@kimnora53]

Mike Hunt greatest athlete ever

[@JBHogan]

Matt - when I was a Little Leaguer I saw Roberto Clemente (in the old St. Louis Cardinals Sportsmans Park - I'm really old!) field a base hit to right field and throw to third. The ball left Clemente's hand at shoulder height and I swear to you the ball never varied up or down and went straight to the third basemen on the line and a waist-high strike. I've never seen anything like that since!!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Haha that is crazy! Thanks for sharing!!

[@danacoleman4007]

That's a fact! He was amazing

[@rslwannabe9475]

Better keep some room on that list for me!!! #7 Ill be there in like 7 years probably.

[@mjim1717]

Strongest I have ever seen in the infield is Furcal and i've been to hundreds of Major League games.. Did Matt fucken Bush have a better arm than furcal? Or at least equal?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Furcal definitely had a cannon. Bush had a cannon as well. Tough to say.

[@MrCctvtech]

I looked up Gio Gonzalez at baseball reference. His minor league career consisted of playing for the Chicago WS, Phi and Oakland minor league affiliates. Doesn't say the team names though.

[@seanmadilly613]

[@JammastaJ23]

Good stuff as usual Matt 👍 wonder what your thoughts are on Ohtani. You think he can keep pitching/dhing through the grind of a whole mlb season?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

[@dorothygale1104]

I know this is 3 years after your comment, but the answer is “Yes”.

Dave Winfield could throw absolute lasers from the warning track to home plate on the Fly

[@stevendurham9996]

Mark Grace said he would rather face Nolan Ryan, than catch the ball, from short, when Shawon Dunston, really, turned it loose to first. Great videos, thank you.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

That's awesome!

[@jonheredia8789]

Stockton ports...high A Ball... Oakland A's minor league team

[@TheBatugan77]

Bobby Bonds. One of the strongest arms in baseball, but still the 2nd best arm in his outfield... next to his kid's Godfather in centerfield.

[@gouda2177]

BO JACKSON ! = HAND CANNON

[@unclestinky6388]

Markakis was one of the top JUCO pitchers in the country and also a strong pro pitching prospect. Apparently he was 23-3 with 258 Ks in two years. It does not look like Gio Gonzales played in the Cal League, he played A+ in the CAR League in 2005 for CWS. Gonzales was in the Southern League in 2007. Maybe it is someone else you are thinking of.

[@philly799]

Does anybody remember Charles Gipson? He played for the Mariners for a few years in the 90s, so he was kind of overshadowed by a bunch of other guys. Anyway, his arm was beyond ridiculous. To say that he could throw a bullet from right field to 3rd base doesn't even do it justice. I tried to find the highlight on youtube, but I can't.

[@jnjtiger]

Growing up, you could go early to games and after batting practice teams would do fielding practice. Coaches hit to outfielders and had to throw to second, then third, then home. So great to see those with great - accurate arms. Clemente was the classic. White Sox had young outfielder Mike Hershberger who could really throw and was relatively small.

[@Freecpapadvice]

Stockton Ports or Visalia Oaks?

[@wi54725]

When Ellis Valentine was with Quebec in the EL, he nailed Omar Moreno at the plate on a single to Right field and Moreno was on second. It was a rope thrown 300 feet. Tim Murtaugh was player-manager on the team, he being Danny's son. Tim said Valentine's arm was as strong as Roberto Clemente.

[@kylethreewit3446]

MODESTO is where the A’s had a minor league team. I believe they are now the Modesto Nuts which is a Seattle Mariners affiliate but I’m pretty sure when you played they would have been the Modesto A’s. I grew up in Modesto.

[@raymond8444]

I have a great question, do u get any benefits after playing in the mlb like free merchandise or tickets to any game if u want or free gloves and what happens to ur sponshorships when u end ur career

[@jfdesignsinc.innovationsid1583]

sesbades when he was an outfeilder in oakland.....holy shit that guy could thro

[@mikehoffman3142]

In high school I played against a big hard throwing left-handed pitcher named Randy Johnson. He threw really hard and I was choking up on a 28" bat with a big barrel. I got lucky and got a hit up the middle, a line drive right through the box. I was standing on first and wasn't even leading off and he threw to first. I stood there and watched it coming. At the last second the first baseman pulled his glove down and the ball hit me right in the chest. You could see the seam marks on my chest for days. True story. No, it wasn't that Randy Johnson, but this guy did go to triple A.

[@Tweeter082000]

Did you ever play against or with Kelly Gulledge from bama. He was a teammate in high school and that dude had a cannon. His clock time was something like 1.9-2.0 on his throw downs. Absolute stud.

[@wesvirginia4611]

I’d say most players in MLB have pretty strong arms lol. There are just some freaks though, I played D3 baseball in college and even at that level we had a guy who could stand at home plate and throw it over the centerfield fence.

[@againstthemajority6659]

Interesting comments on Rodriguez he was buff got smaller later on and lost his arm ummmmm Nolan Ryan was who he was till he retired ummmmmm

[@matthewkane7524]

Jesse Barfield is seriously worth a look. I saw him fooling around in a charity softball game and he threw a scud missile 8 feet off the ground to home plate from approx 300 feet. Now that I think about it, didn’t Bo Jackson have good arm?

Add chewing on seeds, dip, and gum that they are spitting all over the dugout for 3+ hours. Yeah, how do dugouts gets so dirty. It’s so hard to figure out.

Thanks Matt, great content. Vladimir Guerrero when he was with the Angles made one of the most amazing throws I've ever seen. What an arm.

its funny because i have had this conversation many times with my grandfather. i argued guerrero and he argued farillo. the only thing we agreed on was that oneill would have been in the conversation if not for that arm injury when the reds put him on the mound. neither of us is irish obviousely

[@jimsmith7445]

Hey guy! Just caught your videos about a week or so ago. In truth, I never thought much about what the life of an MLB player was all about. Outside of playing a ton of "D" League Softball (slow pitch), and hours and hours of Status Pro Baseball, the subjects never came to me. I find these videos informational, and personally entertaining. I'm a person who was always SO FAR from being a great athlete it never concerned me... but your narrative I find engrossing... Thank you.

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

68 year old geezer here. Strongest arm: RF Rocky Colavito. Not always the most accurate, but definitely the strongest.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Haha I'll have to check it out!

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

Antonelli Baseball Rocky threw a number of balls over the centerfield fence from home plate. His throws from the outfield were low line drives like Ichiro. I think that Ichiro had the greatest arm when you consider strength and accuracy. In my time, you also had Roger Maris, Dave Parker, Roberto Clemente, Al Kaline. Here is a link regarding the longest throws. Rocky is in the article: prestonjg.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/the-history-of-the-record-for-baseballs-longest-thrown-a-tale-that-involves-john-hatfield-honus-wagner-sheldon-lejeune-don-grate-rocky-colavito-and-glen-gorbous-among-others/

I can name one person in particular that I met at a tryout for the Kansas City Royals. This guy named Elton Pollock had the most amazing cannon I had ever seen. He made Andruw Jones and Raul Mondesi (the two greatest arms in MLB at that time) look weak. Elton was in his Senior year at Presbyterian College in South Carolina. He went on to play 3 years in the Pirates Minor League system. He is currently the head coach of his alma mater Presbyterian, where he just achieved his 300th win as the manager. Elton is an absolute great person as well.
