Position players pitching → ? – Unsure what to re-name this article, but the current title is a bit clunky. Perhaps Position player pitchers? Natg 19 (talk) 06:30, 23 July 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 19:45, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose I fail to see what part of this title is especially clunky. And I don't like the suggestion- imo it implies these guys are 1. pitchers, 2. a group of some sort and 3. an MLB position, none of which are true. Nohomersryan (talk) 07:06, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't like how the title seemingly ends in a verb. I can see your objection to the first suggestion. Does "position players as pitchers" seem better to you? Natg 19 (talk) 07:53, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

The article pitcher concerns the position. Pardon the plosiveness, but perhaps a preference for position player pitcher (singular)? White 720 (talk) 13:15, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * There's also a fairly pointless stub at Position player - could this article just be merged into that? 162 etc. (talk) 16:21, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I’m curious to see a draft. There’s not much that we can say (with sources) about position players on their own, so I’m concerned that the “pitching” section would dominate a merged article. White 720 (talk) 04:44, 24 July 2022 (UTC)


 * How about Pitching by position players? It's accurate as to the article contents and not gramatically confusing. Tevildo (talk) 18:25, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Support Pitching by position players. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:56, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Support As a baseball fan, the title feels accurate. However, if it is confusing for non-fans, the suggestion by Tevildo is good. Maybe something like Use of position players as pitchers.  Neonblak talk  -  15:33, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Support Pitching by position players. A plural noun is probably fine here, but the act is singular, so in the current order it seems unwieldy. Dekimasu よ! 07:32, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
