- Comment: First QPQ of two

Hi Muboshgu, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed; article is well written and cited inline to reliable sources; Earwig flags up large sections duplicated by this SHS Trend article but that site is a horror show with dodgy links and pop ups galore so I am happy that they have stolen it from us not vice versa; hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to source cited; image looks to be fine and a QPQ has been provided. My only comment is that some of the data in the infobox (debut, last game, handedness, strikeouts) doesn't appear in the main text or has a citation, can you look at this? - Dumelow (talk) 05:50, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- That information is all covered in the external links (B-Ref, MLB.com, etc.), but I've found a source for the day of his debut. I can't find as good inline citations for the other information, and can comment it out of the infobox. His handedness, career strikeouts, etc. is not key to understanding him. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:06, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks OK then, last appearance is not cited but not major - Dumelow (talk) 12:46, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
