It's better to launch the ball into centerfield than bounce it in games or just in showcases? Maybe that's true in showcases because then at least your showing your arm strength, but in games it's much better to bounce it. That way you at least give your 2B/SS a chance to field it and make a play. Or, at the minimum, you give the 2B/SS a chance to keep the ball on the infield and don't risk the runner taking third.
