He does meet the notability requirements of , but the athlete notability standard is an Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Additional_criteria|additional criteria. Meeting one or more of these criteria "does not guarantee that a subject should be included". They must also meet the Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Basic_criteria|basic criteria which is that the person "has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." This person's article lacks such citations. The only source seems to be a stats site. Recent AfD nomination debates for minor league players have numerous arguments from the Baseball wikiproject that using stat sites as a reference is not a sufficient to establish notability. If they are insufficient to establish notability for a minor league player the same rule should apply for major league players. If no significant third party sources can be found for this player, people who wish to keep should explain why a stat site is sufficient as the only source for major league players but not minor leaguers
