Evaluate the article
Baseball positions is a very interesting article however improvements can definitely be made.

·       Wording in the opening sentence is a bit misleading, it can confuse the readers about some of the general rules of baseball

·       The organization of the article isn't bad however some things could be moved around to make a little more sense

·       The lead paragraph may be a little over detailed, it is a lot to take in

·       The current content is relatively up to date, there are some spots where new rules can be mentioned which are going to be enforced starting in 2023

·       The article is very neutral, there is no bias in any part of the article

·       The references are very good however there are only 2 of them

·       The baseball dictionary is a great place to get information, especially about the positions

·       There could be more details and facts in this article, using more resources could help expand the ideas that are currently there

·       There could be more photos to help the readers understand more, there is only 1 picture in the whole article

·       The talk page has a few people upset with the content that is in the article, such as some unnecessary facts

·       On the other hand people seem to also want some unnecessary facts included, those decisions are opinion based

·       Overall the article definitely needs some work, the foundation is there but it is messy

·       The whole point is to inform the reader and I think that changes need to be made in order to inform the reader as much as possible.

·       This article needs to be longer and go into depth about each position

Informing the reader is the main priority for an article like this, making some of these changes can really make a big difference
