Redirect to List of New York Mets first-round draft picks. Spanneraol (talk) 13:12, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - He was the subject of a New York Times profile here. He also has articles about him at least here and here. There was also at least one article about him and Justin Smoak in the Times and Democrat from June 6, 2008 that doesn't show up in my Google search. I am pretty sure there was more, possibly offline, since I remember reading about him and not in the Times, but this should be enough to establish notability.

Keep Per the sources provided above. He fails WP:NBASEBALL, but that's enough to get him ov4er the GNG hump. Smartyllama (talk) 16:36, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of New York Mets first-round draft picks. Coverage is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL for a first round pick and thus doesn't help him get over the GNG hump. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:02, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Most draft picks do not get such coverage, and even first round picks typically do not get profiled in the NY Times, not even Met or Yankee picks. Even if they did, GNG does not make an exception for coverage that is typical of first round draft picks. 16:40, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Keep. Meets WP:GNG, per Rlendog's sources, which overrides WP:NBASE. Ejgreen77 (talk) 15:15, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MBisanz ^talk 02:04, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Eh, clearly fails the notability guidelines for baseball, but may barely pass GNG. Creating this article was probably a case of recentism, but the potential to create a worthwhile article is greater here than other articles on subjects who only play a few games, make it on a box score, and are forgotten.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 05:09, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
