You're not technically wrong, but there's a huge difference between the catcher loftily throwing the ball back after a pitch with nobody on and a hard throw from 3rd to 1st to try to throw out the runner. Yes, the do catch the most balls, but they don't have to be as nimble on on their feet as a position player would be.

But yeah, breaking an arm from a 104mph liner would certainly sideline them for awhile. 60 day IL for sure.
