Royals outfielder Jermaine Dye His throwing arm ranks among the best.
Runners are wary of taking an extra base on him when he gets the ball and fires it back to the infield
THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IS how relaxed Jermaine Dye looks. It wasn't always like that. There was a time when Dye was just itching to show off that arm of his, like a kid wanting to show off a new computer game or the neighbor overtly washing a new car in the driveway.
There was a time. Of course, he was a kid then. Now, Dye settles so easily under the fly balls. There's no point in getting too excited. He knows his arm will be there for him when he needs it.
"It's about growing up," he says.
Yes, Dye settles easily, turns slightly to the left, about one step behind where the ball will land. His glove is just in front of his face. His right arm is raised and ready.
And everyone in the stadium hushes a little.
There's nothing quite like watching Dye throw.
