Why do some major league outfielders throw like girls?
Question:someone like juan pierre of Dodgers.. I saw him catch a flyout about 10 ft behind 2nd base then not be able to throw out someone tagging from 3rd base. He actually bounced the ball twice from 40 yds away.
I've seen softball players throw further than that.

Okay, I'm sick of everyone stereotyping women and girls, saying they can't throw. Sick of it.Anyway, some people (females and males) just don't have good arms. Simple as that. And if they wanted to, maybe they could work out to get more muscle to put more "umph" into their throws.
Idk they re born that way. weights wont help that much.

This is like asking why don't they call a kitten a cat?! Some guys just have weaker arms. Johnny Damon has one of the "girliest" throws...actually a lot of chicks would outthrow him. Lifting weights and repetition build throwing power. These guys need to continue to retrain these muscles..esp.the rotator cuff.Johnny Damon throws like a girl because he spent too much time in Boston.

What does the "infield fly" rule mean?
There are some outfielders that just don't have strong arms. So they just need to adjust their throw to get the ball in quickly instead of trying to chuck it. Look at Barry Bonds, he's got a terrible throwing arm, but he taught himself to release the ball quickly to get it in fast enough. Dave Roberts has a pretty weak arm, as many CF do.i dont know. i have heard it is easier for the catcher to catch the ball and put the tag down on a bounce to the plate but im not really sure.
a lot of the times, the fastest, baserunning outfielders have the worst arms. Pierre, Damon and the worse OF arm I ever saw was Vince Coleman.
For Pierre and Coleman their slight build is an advantage in covering ground, but not made to make strong throws.
