This BLP does not meet the criteria of WP:NBASE and didn't meet the previous, more lenient notability criteria for baseball biographies either. He never reached the majors and never represented his country internationally. Being a first round draft pick does not make a player inherently notable. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 14:01, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, appears to pass the general notability guideline, see the following: Imposing Potential On Display from the Hartford Courant; New Castle ready for MLB Draft (part 2) from The Star Press; TAKING THEIR BALL (part 2) from The Star Press; and A bright future awaits New Castle's 'Natural' (part 2) from The Indianapolis Star.

- Also, if we only kept the articles that meet the current (nonsensical) NBASE, we would be getting rid of nearly every baseball biography there is! BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:35, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep well-sourced article that is a clear pass of WP:GNG. Frank Anchor 15:59, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:28, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment wasn't a particularly good pitcher based on his ERA at the end of his career, might be a bit notable for the first round draft pick. Didn't live up to the hype it seems. Not fussed if it gets deleted or we keep it, either way. Oaktree b (talk) 20:10, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- GNG is what matters here, not his ERA. JTtheOG (talk) 01:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:36, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per GNG. Not making the majors doesn't make a player inherently non-notable. Rlendog (talk) 02:17, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
