Let's put on our judge's hat and rate each of 2016's insanely acrobatic first pitches

Baseball might not make its Olympic return until 2020 in Tokyo, but MLB still managed to make its mark on this year's Games -- just ask noted O's fan Michael Phelps, for example. But above all, 2016 marked the return of a storied Olympic tradition, on par with the lighting of the flame and the opening ceremonies: Olympians returning home to blow our collective minds with insane first pitches, like the one pictured below:

Er, sorry. Orbit gets carried away sometimes. 
Anyway, thanks in large part to the Final Five -- the American gymnastics team that brought home team all-around gold while altering the laws of physics -- the past few weeks have redefined what's possible while throwing a baseball. So, naturally, we did what any gymnastics fan who can just barely touch their toes would do: put on our best judge's hat and score each and every one. 
Simone Biles: July 4, Houston

Degree of difficulty: 7/10
Execution of routine: 10/10
Pitch quality: 8/10
Score: 25/30
Back before she established herself as the new Captain America, Biles threw out the first pitch for her hometown Astros. And while the pitch itself was a strike, we do have to dock points for degree of difficulty -- because when you can do stuff like this, everything else seems ordinary.
Laurie Hernandez, Sep. 3, New York

Degree of difficulty: 7/10
Execution of routine: 8/10
Pitch quality: 6/10
Score: 21/30
Hernandez, a New Jersey native, took a trip to Queens to take in a Mets game/make Noah Syndergaard feel extremely tall. She went for the same front flip as Biles, and while she easily stuck the landing, the transition into the pitch itself wasn't quite as smooth. At this level, every nuance counts.
Madison Kocian, Sep. 3, Texas

Degree of difficulty: 5/10
Execution of routine: 9/10
Pitch quality: 6/10
Score: 20/30
Kocian was the third and final member of the Final Five to throw out a first pitch, and it's only natural she did it at Globe Life Park: She loves the Rangers so much that she was more excited to meet Adrián Beltré than Beyonce. Unlike Hernandez and Biles, Kocian stayed on the ground for wind-up, although her pitch was a perfect strike.
Toni-Ann Williams, Sep. 6, Oakland

Degree of difficulty: 7/10
Execution of routine: 8/10
Pitch quality: 3/10
Score: 18/30
Wednesday night was Cal Night at the Coliseum, which meant two things: Stomper in the marching band, and some Cal Olympians throwing out the first pitch. By far the most acrobatic of the bunch was current Cal student and Jamaican gymnast Toni-Ann Williams, who went with a front flip -- in some truly fantastic socks. The pitch itself, though, was ... not so fantastic.
Chian-Mei Yang, May 23, Taoyuan City, Taiwan

Degree of difficulty: 10/10
Execution of routine: 9/10
Pitch quality: 9/10
Score: 28/30
Last but not least, there's Taiwanese gymnast Chian-Mei Yang, who didn't just throw out the first pitch prior to a Lamigo Monkeys game back in May -- she did an entire rhythmic routine beforehand. The whole thing lasted around three minutes and culminated with a pitch delivery that included the following, which hurts just to look at:
