Used to be a prospect in the Yankees' and then in the Orioles' organization so the simple solution was to redirect to, say, New York Yankees minor league players. But he's now playing in independent leagues so that trick doesn't work anymore. We are left with a BLP that does not meet the baseball-specific notability criteria. There are a few references in the article but it's mostly routine coverage so I don't think he meets WP:GNG either. Pichpich (talk) 18:47, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

delete or merge I don't care which. Generally, minor league athletes don't generate the press necessary for passing notability requirements. At this time, I don't see any reason to make an exception here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:22, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Certainly no reason for him to have his own article. Pitched a grand total of 63 innings in AA ball, which was the highest level he reached, and is now playing in an independent league. That his father was a major leaguer is irreelevant. He's already mentioned in his father's article and I would say that's as much coverage as he merits.
