Infield outfield arm ?? Cut-off man

clamel · 07-07-2008, 08:01 AM

How much do these strength figures in infield outfield arms play into a a play at any plate.

I´m talking about a possible REALY throw. It´s clear that an outfielder with a strong arm can throw out a runner, and an infield arm can be the difference in throwing out someone too.

But the classic cut-off man issue.
How is it working in OOTP ??

We are looking at many side-effects. The outfielder is inexperience and goes for that loooong throw, missing the cut-off man.
Strong arm, yes , but accurate ???
Combination of that outfielder and the infielder (cut-off man) getting the out at homeplate.
APBA board games had some calculation that involved both outfielders and "part" of infielder arms in the result.

Good question. Not one I have an answer for, unfortunately. I don't know of a way anyone can really test this, as there would be a number of factors coming into play every time.

I think Markus or someone else that fiddles with the programming could asnwer this if they just saw the question !!!

BUMP Markus ???

Will the infielders arm have anything with the outcome of a throw to get a runner ???

Sometime I can read a cut-off and such, so hopefully YES....
