VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence contains general information about Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers, but none of the search results or Wikipedia entries mention his daughter throwing a first pitch, let alone a 'perfect' one. The search results for 'Justin' returned irrelevant profiles of Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake.
