Lead

 * It jumps from team to team (ie. During the season, he played in the Oakland Athletics organization, playing six games in the major leagues for them. He was a 2018 mid-season Triple-A All Star for the Nashville Sounds.). Can you make it a smoother transition?

Early life

 * Please add a reference for his birthday
 * You may want to check out this reference
 * Reference #3 doesn't state Lavarnway was born in Burbank, California, and grew up in Woodland Hills, California + the other refs are dead (see section title "References")
 * His MLB profile says Woodland Hills
 * Most of the sources state Lavarnway was born in Burbank, then moved to Woodland Hills - I'm going to assume MLB.com is mistaken. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 22:50, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Please move Ref 4 to the end of the sentence From watching his father play softball games, Lavarnway developed an interest in baseball at a young age. Then Ref 6 can go after He played catcher in Little League, and Ref 4 after his favorite major league player growing up was Jason Varitek.
 * I've changed up the refs; the ones provided now validate both sentences. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 22:50, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Why are 4 references needed to prove At El Camino Real High School, Lavarnway caught as a junior but played outfield for the "Conquistadors" baseball team as a senior?
 * 3/4 are dead and the one useable reference doesn't state what year he played outfield in.
 * Down to 1, and text changed to reflect only what it says. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 22:52, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

College career

 * Why are 3 references needed for Lavarnway attended Yale University, where he majored in philosophy and played baseball for the Yale Bulldogs in the Ivy League?
 * You can remove he said.
 * For the Ivy Player and Rookie of the Week honor, you can use your reference from the JPOST that's already used in the article.
 * Please expand on his rookie year
 * Reference 13 + 15 doesn't state In 2007, Lavarnway moved back to catcher
 * Since his Yale Bulldogs profile is dead, you need a new reference for his accomplishments
 * Reference 17 +18 doesn't prove the sentence it's supposed to support
 * Are 3 references needed to prove He missed the last 11 games of the year after breaking the scaphoid bone in his left wrist while diving into home plate in April?
 * Reference 14 doesn't prove the sentence it's supposed to support

Boston Red Sox

 * Reference doesn't say 6th round
 * Neither reference proves He signed for a $325,000 signing bonus
 * Use this reference
 * Are 5 references necessary?
 * Can you WL optioned to Major League Baseball transactions?
 * Reference 57 + 64 have a different title
 * Are four references needed to prove He had surgery to remove the hamate bone from his left wrist at the Cleveland Clinic on June 4 and began a rehab assignment with Portland on July 21?
 * Reference 66 needs an author

Baltimore Orioles

 * Reference 69 needs the author (Tim Britton)
 * Reference 70 needs the author (Bill Plunkett)
 * Reference 78 needs access-date
 * camdenchat is not a reliable source

Miami Marlins

 * Please expand on the season. If it stopped due to COVID, please state his stats at the time of the pause in play.
 * The season never even started in the first place - nothing to write about yet. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 02:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
