Well the Angels have Mike Napoli, and let's face it he isn't the slowest catcher in the league. I'm just saying that catchers back up these throws for a reason, and that's that they end up being able to back up a ball before the first baseman, where in this shot he would be of no help.

Even in the majors, they'd be much further than this. I'm not saying they do dead sprints especially in all of that gear, but you can walk further if you get up on contact (obviously I'm being sarcastic).

I'm just being cautious is all. If someone tells me they properly do it in 2K9 and back it up in time, then I wouldn't feel too cautious about it.
