He loved throwing passes so hard that receivers would yelp. More than that, he loved throwing baseballs so hard that they popped into the glove and turned hands red. Sure, he loved his arm. That's not something anybody taught him. That was just something he could always do.
Trouble is, there's more to throwing out base runners than just throwing the heck out of the ball.
When Dye first came to the major leagues with the Atlanta Braves, he would wing wild throws all over the field. He made bad throws from left field, right field. That first season, Dye threw out just two runners. But he doesn't have any idea what to do with it. III Dye doesn't even look at the runner while the ball is in the air.
