Buster Posey uncorked a literal perfect throw last night, and social media loved it

At age 32, Buster Posey is solidly in the wily veteran stage of his career. He's no longer posting an .850 OPS with elite defensive metrics; in 2019, the longtime Giants catcher has just four home runs. As he gets up there in age, some may start to suggest Posey move to playing first base full-time to relieve him of the stress of catching every day.

These theoretical critics may want to take a back seat for the time being, because during the Giants' 10-7 win over the Brewers Friday, Posey showed his arm can still be as good as anyone's in the majors.
