Obviously one video of one fantastic off-balance throw by Ryan Zimmerman after a backhanded grab in Tuesday's spring training game against the Marlins probably isn't enough to restore confidence in Zim's ability to throw a baseball across the diamond. But it helps. Video above.
Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post had more on the lingering questions about Zim's ability to throw. Here's Zim:
"I feel like I’m right where I need to be. The whole goal was to be ready by April 1. Today was finally a game where I got some groundballs. I’ve been playing for a week or so and haven’t really got much. It was nice to some chances today. It gets better each day."
(Ryan Zimmerman, via Nationals Journal, 3/26/2013)
My worry isn't the off balanced throws-- he's been making those. It's the routine throws when he has time to set and throw that have been horrendous!
Obviously for arm strength, it matters, and is good to see this kind of gun!
