99.9% Unless he falls down is the only way he wouldnt.
If he runs when the pitch is delivered like he should, he should be rounding 3rd by time the ball hits the ground in the outfield. He should be halfway home by the time the OF gets the ball. An outfielder isnt even going to throw to the plate in most of the time in this situation. I cant believe this is debatable.
About the only situation I think there could be a play at the plate is Bengie Molina running and a line drive to left in Fenway.(outfield can play shallow there because the fence is so shallow) It might end up only being a 150 foot throw instead of the 275 foot throw from centerfield as in the stated example.
