Steven Matz (pictured) was the first pitcher in Major League Baseball history to record three hits and four RBIs in his debut game, and the 11th player at any position to do so?
    • ALT1:... that Steven Matz (pictured) was the first pitcher in New York Mets history to allow two runs or fewer in each of his first five career starts?
    • ALT2:... that before they were on the New York Mets together, pitchers Steven Matz (pictured) and Marcus Stroman faced each other in a high school game one scout called "one of the best duels I've ever seen"?

  • Driveby non-review comment: Could you please link RBI? As someone entirely unfamiliar with baseballing, I have no idea what that means. MIDI (talk) 21:10, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
    • Yup! — Hunter Kahn 12:45, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
      • New enough (passed GA within 7 days), long enough, and passed Earwgis copyvio detector. As a sports fan I find this interesting but now sure about for a broader audience. As stated above, many do not know what RBI stands for which is meat of ALT0. To me, ALT1 is better but still a little niche. Is there any other hook that could be used?HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 06:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
        • HickoryOughtShirt?4 I just added ALT2. What do you think of that one? If that's still no good I can try to come up with something else... — Hunter Kahn 14:22, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
