Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?Bold text'''

The first and second paragraph tells us how many believe Darren Zack is un-hittable, the greatest pitcher of all time, the Babe Ruth of fast pitch softball but fails to tell us who made this claims. The article continues on to tell us he is a fan favourite and a humble gentle man, but once again fails to tell us who exactly says this. The first two paragraphs seem to be biased towards promoting Darren Zack as the best ever and a great personality without factually backing up the claim. The article seems to be framing him to be a superstar in the world of fast pitch softball.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The viewpoint of all his accomplishments is over-represented when compared to the focus on his background and religion. The only mention of where he is from and what shaped him as a person is a brief snapshot of his early life and the mention of his family in the introduction. The bulk of the entire article is focused on his accomplishments in sport. The bulk of the article seems to be simply stats of all his accomplishments. There is an underrepresentation of who he is as a man and what he believes. There is also a lack of focus on what drives him to continue to participate in the sport. No focus on his spirituality except for one sentence as well.

'''Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?'''

Most of these articles are news articles or taken from information found on him from teams and leagues he has played in. Many of these articles as a result do seem biased as they simply talk about what a legendary player he is and how great a person he is as well. Some of the bias from these articles has made it's way into the article and more editing and awareness is needed to improve the article. These sources re not neutral and because of this bias has found it's way into the article just because all the information from these sources is overwhelmingly in favour of Darren Zack with not a bad word to be found about him. The bias from these sources is not noted in the article.Scolwell98 (talk) 23:33, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
