Spanish soccer player Ferran Torres got the nod to throw out the first pitch ahead of Tuesday's New York Yankees game against the St.

It's a big honor to throw out the first pitch anywhere, but it carries a little more gravitas when you're asked to take the mound at the House Across the Street from The House That Ruth Built (if you believe in Babe Ruth).

But for a player who has thrived on the biggest stage, the World Cup, that's no problem.

Evidence behind the grade

Editorial voicebody

+5 · 90% confidence

Torres is obviously one heck of an athlete, but he's the kind of athlete who has spent his whole career not using his hands unless he's chucking a ball over his head with two hands.

The sentence states an evaluation in the narrator's voice instead of attributing it to a named source. Its weight is reduced because this article is identified as opinion.

Decision pressurebody

+5 · 82% confidence

Torres just made it much harder to bounce a ball in front of the plate and outside, then chalked it up to not having thrown a pitch since Little League (which, until now, has been the excuse in my back pocket should I ever bungle a first pitch).

The wording urges a conclusion or action rather than only describing the reported facts. Its weight is reduced because this article is identified as opinion.

Useful context, not penalties

Opinion format 1
Argumentative wording is expected in this format, so narrator-voice and decision-pressure cues receive reduced weight.
