It is not the outfielder's decision where to throw. Where on earth did you get that idea?
The catcher makes that call and yells it to the field. The infielders line up in cut/relay position accordingly. The outfielder is supposed to know the situation and anticipate where he's going to go, but in the end he is supposed to listen and respond as a part of a defensive unit. Under no circumstances is he to simply take it upon himself to air mail a throw where ever he darned well pleases.
An outfielder who misses the cut man is indulging himself to the detriment of the team.
Bear in mind that right up until he loads to throw, the OF is watching the BALL, not the runners. The catcher is the guy with everything in front of him and he is ALWAYS in charge of this situation. A good catcher will chew your hind parts off if you ignore him.
