General

 * I believe all uses of the word "majors" should be changed to "major leagues"

Lead

 * "Drafted by the Mariners in the in the fourth round of the 1981 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft," - the text in bold is a repetition
 * "before getting moved to the bullpen due to a loss of control." - loss of control of what?
 * I think the lead could be three paragraphs instead of two; how about making the new paragraph after he became unhappy with his playing time
 * "though he was in the minor leagues until June 30." - add that year to the end of this sentence for clarification

Early life

 * "Arthur Lee Guetterman was born November 22, 1958, to Arthur Adam Jr. and Ruth Guetterman.[1][2]" - the first citation can be moved to the comma because it does not mention his parents
 * "Arthur Lee Guetterman was born November 22, 1958," - born on November 22,
 * "where he was coached on the baseball team by former major league pitcher Al Worthington.[4][3]" - refs in numerical order please

First full season, use as a starter (1986–87)

 * "16 of his 41 appearances for Seattle" - don't start a sentence with a digit
 * Wikilink bullpen to the relevant article

Emerging as a relief pitcher, closing, leading the Yankees in wins (1988–90)

 * "because of an injury to Ron Guidry." - The LA Times said Guidry's injury was to his left elbow
 * "Sure enough, Righetti went on to assume the closer role" - use alternative formal wording in place of the text in bold or delete it
 * Wikilink go-ahead home run to the relevant article
 * Home run is already linked on first mention. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 17:51, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Dissatisfaction with workload, trade to the Mets (1991–92)

 * "then earned ones in back-to-back appearances July 1 and 4," - achieved saves in back-to-back appearances on July 1 and 4,
 * "As it turned out," - transpired
 * "in a 2016 interview." - interview with whom?
 * No interviewee is shown in the video, but I don't think that's relevant here - the main point of this sentence is that in 2016, Guetterman thought New York was his favorite place that he had played. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 17:54, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Various organizations (1993–97)

 * "Guetterman was then unemployed for over a month before signing with the Mariners again on August 8." - more than a month
 * "earning the save (his only one of the season) in the victory." - earning him his sole save of the season in the victory
 * "when Tim Davis broke his leg." - The Spokesman-Review says it was his left leg that was broken
 * "Blas Minor then relieved him and retired Rex Hudler to end the inning." - subsequently
 * "finally getting a chance to start again." - reword this sentence slightly

Career statistics and pitching style

 * "Guetterman threw a curveball as well.[19][14]" - refs in numerical order please

Personal life

 * "due to the preaching and spiritual study he received while a Liberty student. "I made that commitment at Liberty."[19][3]" - refs in numerical order please
