Thank you for the tip, can I possibly get more centerfield advice?

They do that bc they gotta get the ball to first before the runner gets there

Can you help explain how some players/positions are able to have a short arm circle/motion with a strong arm? For example a catcher you often hear how they are pulling it back to the ear. Or like Antonelli coaches an elbows out move for infielders after seperation from glove.

Is it just because they are so strong (college/mlb level)? Or is it about the angle of the shoulder/elbow (palm down)? Or other techniques?

When coaching throwing technique most throwing programs are more for a pitcher/outfielder where you are trying to throw as hard and safely as possible, but most position players (or even the P/OF) dont throw that way.
