Since I am the one who is primarily working on creating this article, my work is less about improvements than it is about creation. I will be filling in all the most relevant information about the baseball academy. As with all Wikipedia articles, it will start with a paragraph briefly describing the baseball academy itself. From there I would like to have a section on its history/creation, which probably will not end up being too long as the academy was created in 2011. I'd like to include a section offering a description of the academy and its facilities, as well as the DSL teams that use it. After that I would like to have another section outlining some of the head staff that operates the academy. Finally, I will try to wrap up the article by connecting it to the articles about the DSL and the DSL Indians.

Kyrsten's Peer Review

I think the fact that you are creating this page is very impressive and a big task. After looking at some of your sources, I would say to be careful and observant for bias. For example, one of your sources is a press release which are typically made for the public and could leave out crucial information. Also another one of your sources is an individual player's journey so just make sure you show other points of view. As someone who is unaware of what the DSL, I think it will be very beneficial to explain to the reader what it is as well as other terms that may be novel to the average person. Your circumstance is different than others so I would also make sure you're staying on topic since you have a lot of freedom with your blank page.

Kyrsten's Second Peer Review

I think the page has good information right now but perhaps could use more. The paragraphs are only a couple of sentences. I would expand more, especially on the history. I didn't find any grammar mistakes. I also think the information fit Wikipedia criteria and sounded very scholarly. Jovi KB (talk) 17:40, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
