Editing Mickey Mantle (section)

===Fielding===
Though not a flashy fielder, Mantle was an overall solid center fielder, especially considering he did not play the position until after he had reached the Major Leagues. Manager [[Casey Stengel]], unimpressed with him at shortstop, moved him to the outfield before his rookie year.<ref>[[#Leavy|Leavy]], p. 9.</ref> Over time, Mantle developed one of the strongest outfield arms to compensate for weak points in his fielding.<ref>[[#Castro|Castro]], p. 128–129.</ref> His outfield throws discouraged runners from taking an extra base. Possessed of good range in center field, his defensive skill was considered 'the less spectacular equal of his offensive genius'.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Holland |first1=Gerald |title=All Hail the Hero, Mighty Mickey |url=https://vault.si.com/vault/1957/03/04/all-hail-the-hero-mighty-mickey |magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]] |date=March 4, 1957}}</ref> Although he considered himself a better hitter than fielder, Mantle felt his running catch during [[Don Larsen's perfect game]] was the best play of his career.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Friend |first1=Harold |title=Mickey Mantle's Most Significant Catch |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/357816-mickey-mantles-most-important-catch |website=[[Bleacher Report]] |date=March 6, 2010}}</ref> He later referred to it as "probably the only good catch I ever made. I wasn't that good of a fielder."<ref>[[#Leavy|Leavy]], p. 132.</ref>
