### Lead
Can you expand a bit on his pitching style in the lead? It just seems a bit short. Maybe add a fact about his fastball from the pitching style section? So it would look like: Surkamp batted and threw left-handed with his fastball averaging 89 miles per hour.
Can you WL Bachelor of Science?


### Amateur career
I feel this is a bit of a weird title since it discusses his birthday and who he admired growing up. Could this be retitled "Early life and amateur career" or is that too long?
Who are his parents?
I couldn't find any info about them, even in the high school articles or the MLB bio, both places you'd think would include it. Sorry! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 00:06, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
He helped his high school win a state baseball title in 2004 [1]
Wording might be a little funny, but that's mentioned (with that article) at end of 1st paragraph. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 23:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Here are some newspaper articles about his HS career. It can definitely get expanded:
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
Please add (NC State) when the school is first mentioned as you use that short form in the personal life section.


### Professional career
Please wikilink Jon Weisman
Thanks! Didn't realize he was famous. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 23:52, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Are there any articles stating his retirement date and reason?
Not that I can find. This is easy with high-profile players but can be difficult with guys like him. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 23:52, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Sanfranciscogiants17, thank you for your patience. I believe this is all for now. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:27, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
