General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria (5x expansion started on January 31, 2021, and length is good). Article is well sourced except for some minor issues which have been noted above. Hook is sourced to LA Times and is cited within the article. Earwig's copyvio checks look good. Made two minor edits to the hook and have them below as ALT1 and ALT2 -- see if you might be comfortable with any of them. QPQ done. Passing back to the nominator with relatively minor feedback. Update: (based on conversation below): Marking this hook as approved based on the feedback that infobox elements are not sourced in the infobox for baseball articles and readers should use the external links to validate that information as needed.

  • Ktin, everything in the infobox can be found at the external links, like this. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:58, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Muboshgu Thanks. Is that the norm in baseball articles? If so, will AGF. We have similar articles in the cricket project where the source is added to the infobox. e.g. Rahul Dravid. Also, I see elements like date of birth are not sourced. Please do consider sourcing. Ktin (talk) 05:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Ktin, this is indeed pretty standard. I imagine it's about the same as that Dravid article. I'm adding this article that includes his date of birth. [1] – Muboshgu (talk) 21:35, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Muboshgu Marking hook as approved with notes re: sourcing that have been added above. Thanks for this submission and good luck. Ktin (talk) 23:40, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
