Who is in your top five ?

I hope Damon makes someone’s list.

Looks like Jesus
Acts like Judas (going from Sox to Yanks)
Throws like Mary

    As a Braves fan I hate to say this but Marcel Ozuna has a terrible arm. Obviously he's there for his bat but his throwing arm is so subpar for a professional outfielder.

    The winner in just about every category of the form "worst ____________ outfielder" is Greg Luzinski. The Phillies had Schmidt in front of him and Maddox to his left, and that limited the number of balls that Luzinski was forced to field, so maybe you didn't notice just how bad Luzinski was. Man, he was terrible.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    Johnny Damon. 👎👎 As the years go on, this guy looks worse and worse. And the things that he says...... The guy wishes he could have been a Yankee from the beginning.

    I can get behind Damon. Don Baylor had a ridiculously weak arm. Hal McRae certainly didn't scare anyone with his arm

    The Twins put Killebrew in LF for three years, he was not very good out there. You would think a guy that could play third base would have a strong arm, but "Killer" should have stayed in the infield.

    Then he would have been the best 3rd Baseman of all time and it's not even close! ;-)

    I think of the old APBA baseball game. They had OF arm ratings on the player cards, but I can only remember the higher rated ones like Rocky Colovito and Jesse Barfield.

    Don Baylor was the only outfielder (who played a long, full career anyway) who never threw out a runner to complete a double play. Luzinski was terrible at every single facet of playing the outfield, but Baylor may have him "beat" for worst throwing arm.
