I know there is one throw that's an overthrow. That involves an error. A wide throw that's not overthrown is not an error, just a wide throw. Not every throw should be right on a base.
This could give the impression that the infielder has a bad arm or is otherwise a sub-par defender. The fix is syncing the timing of throws with the runners, not creating a different animation that doesn't reflect the true outcome.
