Quote by Al Kaline
One reason outfielders don't have stronger arms might be they don't practice as much as we did. Most teams today don't take outfield practice. Another reason is baseball has to compete with other sports now - basketball, football, soccer - for the better athletes that might have more skills and stronger arms.
Summary
This quote suggests that outfielders may not have stronger throwing arms in baseball due to two reasons. Firstly, it implies that today's teams do not prioritize outfield practice as much as in the past, which consequently reduces the opportunity for outfielders to develop their throwing skills effectively. Secondly, it suggests that baseball is now competing with other popular sports like basketball, football, and soccer for talented athletes who might possess stronger throwing arms, resulting in a scarcity of highly skilled outfielders with robust throwing abilities.
