Have you watched Ichiro throw from RF. he is always in forward motion, shoulders to the target. Feet quick. Perfect throwing motion. He was a HS pitcher. Great knowledge of the game, the runners speed and the velocity of the ball hit to him. In Seattle he had the groundskeeper cut the grass short so the ball would get to him quicker.
There is a different game besides metrics it is called baseball intelligence.

I spent an hour with my son recently showing him Ichiro highlights on YT. He was blown away the outfield throws, particularly given his size. Ichiro is a legend.
