- ... that as a high schooler in 2018, Logan O'Hoppe caught a home run ball at Yankee Stadium hit by visiting player Manny Machado and was televised throwing it back on the field? Source: https://www.mlb.com/news/logan-o-hoppe-throws-back-home-run-ball-as-fan-at-yankee-stadium

Improved to Good Article status by Sewageboy (talk). Self-nominated at 06:05, 1 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Logan O'Hoppe; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- More of a comment than a review, but the hook is 199 characters. It's just below the acceptable limit, but given the length it might be a good idea to make it shorter/more concise if possible. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
Regarding the hook, I'd suggest dropping "rival" since we don't claim that in the article; removing that and maybe the Orioles team name should make it concise enough. The hook is interesting (at least to me), and the article reached GA yesterday as of this comment and is well-cited and well-formatted overall. There are still a couple of things needed, from spot-checks of sources (in which I saw no paraphrasing concerns). The reference for the hook fact doesn't say anything about throwing balls back on the field being common practice, so that bit should be cited by something else or removed from the article. Ref 8 doesn't say he was the 677th pick, so we could use an additional cite there. Also, a QPQ review is still needed. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- I shortened the hook and added sources in the article where requested. Sewageboy (talk) 06:29, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
My apologies for one thing above: a DYK review isn't required in your case, since it appears this is your first DYK nom. Should have looked at your user talk page earlier. The changes to the hook and the newly added sources look good to me. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:36, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
