Im not saying it should be possible. Im fine how it is. You said thats not how it works. Clearly it happens in real life.

I did it to Cano with Mark Trumbo. Was certainly surprised as I don't think I've pulled that off since MLB 12.

I still see people try it all the time, just in case they can get that once-in-a-blue-moon time where it actually works...it's funny.

The times I've seen it are from teams that are stacked two days after release, have hideous, lime green, pinstriped uniforms, and who run around after the play is over for no good reason.

That means nothing as a counter argument.

Re: Throwing runners out at 1B from RF

I've done it once so far in MLB 15, so it's possible!

My 1b never covers the bag. In my twins franchise I threw it to Rizzo (trade) and had Cabrera beaten by 3 steps easy and he caught in right on the lip of the grass near the bag. He caught it on the lip, 3 steps before Cabrera ever touched 1st. Had Rizzo covered the bag, he'd been out easily. I never have seen them cover the bag this year or last.

Nice. The thing that gets me though is that I beat the runner, and in replay it's easy to see, and he was still called safe. oh well.

I've never done it but I'm sure you could playing the shift and having Big Papi running to 1st sure. I mean it takes the "right conditions" to make it happen.

That's awesome that it's in.
In MLB13 I'm never able to do it. My perfect throw always seems to change from a green indicator of throw power to a yellow, and the 1B either gets pulled off the bag, or it just doesn't get there in time

Re: Throwing runners out at 1B from RF

Would the firstbaseman even bother to cover first IRL?
Even so, an occasional out, with a slow batter, is tolerable.
In some cases, the rightfielder is actually closer to first than a thirdbaseman.

However, if LEFTfielders start throwing out batters at first

A friend of mine did it the other day.

Re: Throwing runners out at 1B from RF

i did it yesterday playing a spring training fame with the twins vs the red sox, i had my rf and just threw it to first thinking it would be safe but then i heard matty v getting excited saying he was out, checked the replay and it showed he was tagged. no challenge or anything

To those who have done it, are you tagging them out when they round the bag, or are your 1st basemen actually covering the bag? I've thrown it and tagged them on their turn, but I've never had a single instance where my 1st basemen caught the ball with a foot on the bag.

I threw a runner out with Puig the normal way (first basemans foot on the bag). It resulted in me having to challenge it as he was originally called safe but I got the out. It was a line drive one hopper but the runner was like a 25 speed rating

I'm consistently inconsistent on throwing out runners period. Any tips?
