If that OF was charging in to catch the ball, while your runner would have to wait to tag up, then it should be a close play no matter how bad the guys arm is. If you have your base running set at something like ++ or the guy is naturally an aggressive runner (pretty sure this is a hidden rating), then he might try to get home when he really shouldn't run.

And ya, never seen anything about aggregate arms. Individual outfield assist stats do show decent correlation with arm strength.

U get what i Mean? btw Does the catcher's skills matter when baserunners are being thrown out at the plate? I could also ask does shortstop's skills affect the outcome when opponent is trying to steal 2nd base. Updated Thursday, October 29 2015 @ 1:31:26 am PDT

Crazy Li Joined: 01/25/2015 Posts: 879 Inactive	It was probably a bad decision to tag up. He most likely overestimated his own speed and underestimated the fielder's arm, going on a shallow fly ball :p That, or he tripped over his own two feet in the attempt.
