In 14U and 16U we had a catcher with a rocket arm and she was very good at selling the fake throw to second. She nailed multiple runners in games quite often. If the runner at third leaned toward home on the fake throw she was in danger of not being able to get back to the base.
this is the strategy we use also, my catcher has a cannon but struggles to sell the fake. Its pretty comical when she fakes and nobody moves and you hear me tell across the field "no Oscar for you this week". Most are afraid of accidentally letting go during a fake to really sell it.
