Everything is good. Article is sourced, long enough, and a well-referenced as a BLP. QPQ done, hook correct length. One recommendation: if you're willing to, I would encourage an ALT hook that uses the same source's quote from him where he says that he lost money his first year as a player–seems a little more interesting (though to a baseball person, I think the $500 bonus implies as much). ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:35, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Pbritti, willing to give it a shot, if you don't mind reviewing the ALT. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:14, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1a: ... that Zack Kelly received a $500 signing bonus, spent more money than he earned to play, and was released by two organizations before he made his Major League Baseball debut?
ALT1b: ... that Zack Kelly received a $500 signing bonus, lost money in his first professional seasons, and was released by two organizations before he made his Major League Baseball debut?
Great job, all pass, preference for ALT1b! Nice job! ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:59, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
