Batter hits hard line drive to RF and F9 played it quickly on one hop and threw to 1B in attempt to get batter-runner. Ball sails over F3 and out of play. A good throw would have easily retired the batter-runner.
Is batter-runner awarded 2B? To me, that’s obvious, but my partner said that’s only for throws from an infielder. He was adamant about it so I let it go and coaches didn’t say anything.

The award for a ball (other than a pitch or pick from the rubber) thrown out of play is always 2 bases. The only difference between an infielder an outfielder throwing it is whether it's TOP or TOT.

Actual answer - 2 bases from time of the throw. Batter gets 2nd
