I think he was out on the stolen base and safe on the hit to right but you can't really tell since the ESPN3 replays make Pelican Sports TV look like a super bowl production.
the replays were terrible and one of the terrible replays caused them to miss bregman's rbi single.

Stronger arms are more important in left field for short sac flys to left when the runner is on 3rd.
ETA: you don't set up your outfield defense for a rare, very rare 9, 3 out opportunity regardless how cool that defensive at is.
wasn't asking because of the 9-3 play. the distance from right and left on a sacrifice fly is the same. but the right fielder has a longer throw to 3rd base.

No, just no. Right field is where the stronger arm should be.

Yeah, you typically put the better arm in Right, not Left. RF has to throw to third sometimes, LF never has to throw to first.
And that has nothing to do with a potential 9-3 out. No one sets up defense based on that rare insignificant play.

The rule of thumb for baseball since its been played is that you want your strongest arm in right.

Maybe because it's a easier throw from right to home than it is from left to home on a sac fly...less runner obstruction .

Your strongest arms goes in RF. Throws to home and 2nd base are the same distance from LF and RF, so the difference is at 3rd and 1st. By far more balls are thrown to 3rd from the outfield, so you want your strongest arm in RF.
Of course this is at a professional level, in little league you hide your worst player in RF.

yea laird started the season in left and foster who is a great rf started in right. Foster's lack of hitting forced mcmullen to the of and i don't think cpm wanted him in right. since fraley cracked the starting lineup i just think they didn't want to change anything.

From the angle on my laptop it looked like a weak, poor throw, but the distance could have been greater than it appeared on my computer

I agree with this. My son plays 14U and the left fielder see a lot of action. I guess because most of the hitters are right handed and the pitchers are not necessary throwing very fast.

I'm afraid that the lack of arm strength, accuracy and lack of power will greatly handicap both Stevenson and Laird at having a shot at the next level.

It was a bang/bang play. Tyler Hanover would have had him by a step though.
