I also think that below pro ball hitting and catching the ball have clear priority. Even in pro ball a weak arm can play but then it is always LF only (see Johnny Damon and khris davis).

If I was a college coach I wouldn't care about arm if he catches the ball and hits the ball.

It does make a difference if you get drafted because weak arm means LF only in mlb which means you need plus power because you don't start in leftfield in the majors with 15 homers a year even if you can hit.

For prospect status arm is important but below that I wouldn't worry too much. Just make sure you work some on your arm so it isn't a total noodle because throwing rainbows or two hoppers back into the infield looks terrible.
