Add this to the long list of reasons why Simone Biles is incredible.
The Houston native, four-time national champion, and favorite for Olympic gold threw out the first pitch at an Astros game over the holiday weekend. But she didn't just throw the ball — because that would be too easy for a super athlete.
No, Simone Biles casually did a front flip while throwing out the first pitch at an MLB game. And she looked flawless while doing it.
You can see the incredible pitch here:

Biles is set to compete at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials, July 8 and 10 in San Jose, CA. Which means there's more incredible flipping in our future.
