Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful. 
If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)
I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy. 
Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)

Could we mention maybe a bit about what type of pitches he throws? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:38, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm not 100% on baseball, but isn't Class A like significantly lower than MLB? What gave him the push? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:38, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 Added 2019 season in Double-A, plus the alternate training site thing from 2020 — GhostRiver 01:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
The citation for his full name could easily fit into the body. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:39, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 Done — GhostRiver 01:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)


#### General
travel teams like many other adolescent baseball players - travel teams? Is that just away games? - also "adolescent"? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:51, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 Added/ Fixed Clarified high school players, and specified that the biggest thing is that travel teams are private, not school-affiliated — GhostRiver 01:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

mid-90 mph (140 km/h) that conversion isn't right Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:51, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 Fixed Now says "above 90 mph" — GhostRiver 01:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
1–1 record - is one win and one loss really worth mentioning? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:51, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
I believe so, as win-loss records are generally quite low at the lowest minor-league seasons, which are very short and rotate players frequently. Most pitchers have no record in Rookie-level play. — GhostRiver 01:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
fanning 11 - what does this mean? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:51, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 Fixed Another term for striking out, put there to reduce repetition, but I switched to "recording" — GhostRiver 01:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
second game of a seven-inning doubleheader - this doesn't make sense to me. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:51, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 Fixed In 2020, doubleheaders were shortened to seven innings, but that's tangential and was removed, with the sentence reworded accordingly — GhostRiver 01:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
Continued issues with Anderson - what issues? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:51, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
