Why Arm Strength Matters
High ARM ratings let players make long, accurate throws, turning routine plays into game-saving outs. Elite infielders use it to fire across the diamond, while outfielders can prevent extra-base hits. For catchers, max ARM combined with pop-time metrics is critical to controlling the running game.
When building your Diamond Dynasty squad, these players are your top options for locking down defense and taking control of the field. Prioritize them for positions where throwing speed makes or breaks the play.
