What seems weird now you mention it, is that the two best I've seen for throwing both played right field. Evans and Ichiro, I can't count Mays because I only saw his last year when he was way past his prime, but I hear he was amazing.
And of course the Sox had Damon in center who couldn't throw well at all.

RF to 3B obviously longer than from other fields so yeah the strongest arms (Parker, Clemente, etc.) often play there. And centerfielders cover a LOT more ground because CF is much deeper almost everywhere.
