Jon Rahm most likely didn’t develop up dreaming of throwing out the first pitch in a World Series recreation between the Diamondbacks and Rangers. Yet there he used to be on Tuesday night time, in a inexperienced jacket and tie, tossing one over the plate before his place of birth D-Backs misplaced Game 4 to the Rangers 11-7.
Rahm, who attended Arizona State and nonetheless lives within the Phoenix space, used to be being celebrated for his Masters victory previous this 12 months over Brooks Koepka. The pitch he threw used to be now not nice, however a minimum of he were given it to the plate. It has long past some distance worse for way more well-known other people than Rahm in the case of first pitches.
It has been the most efficient 12 months of Rahm’s occupation to this point. He received 4 occasions, together with that Masters, and completed within the best 10 in two different majors as neatly. He’s additionally coming off the second one Ryder Cup victory of his occupation and picked up 3 issues in Rome after going 2-0-2 within the forty fourth version of that match. Rahm has best performed as soon as since that Ryder Cup — a T9 on the Spanish Open — however he’s anticipated to play on the DP World Tour Championship in two weeks.
Rahm isn’t the one Masters champion to have attended this World Series. Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler have been at Game 1 in Arlington, Texas, sitting with YouTube trick shot artists Dude Perfect. No first pitch in Texas for the ones guys, however however, nor is the reigning Masters champion.
