Best Right field arm?

My nominees ( limited to guys I saw play in person, and, yeah, I'm old)
Al Kaline
Johnny Callison
Roberto Clemente
Dwight Evans
Jesse Barfield
Alexis Rios

I'd like to hear what other fans think.


Cheers

Leaving Ichiro off the list was an oversight on my part, but mainly because I've never seen him in person. Yaz and Williams both played left field, not right, and neither had a particularly strong throwing arm. But thanks for the feedback.

I was hoping, frankly, that somebody would pick Evans. For my money, that play in the Series, where he robbed Morgan of a double and then doubled off Griffey (Sr) was the best catch and throw by a RF I ever saw...

Much that i know, i am only 14, but from these names, i would say Roberto Clemente because he had a gun of an arm

Ichiro is a centerfielder now.

Best RF arm ever (that I know of, never had the chance to see Clemente play) is the Vladdy daddy. This guys arm is INSANE. I think the person before mentioned that 1 throw where it went from like foul pole to foul pole. Oh MY God. VLaddy has got the best arm Ive seen.

ANother recent guy is Jeff Francoeur. He has a gun. Some other honorable mentions are Nick Markakis and Shane Victorino (though he also plays some center).

Clemente hands down.

Best throw EVER was by Joe Ferguson from Center field to Steve Yeager. A perfect strike!

Of all time its clemente but Vladdy will give him a run for his money! Did u c when Vlad threw a ball from the 3rd base dugout in yankees stadium to the upper deck in right field? BEAST!

I could suggest Ichiro. That video was in his first week or month in the MLB.

Yeah, I realize Ichiro is now a centerfielder, but he has played right for most of his MLB career and in the clip I sourced.
