 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per WP:BASEBALL/N: He just graduated from high school, never actually played college or professional baseball, and does not have substantial coverage from multiple independent sources. The only remotely substantial article is the USA Today website one, because he was "Gatorade State Baseball Player of the Year" for Illinois, whatever that is.  The other sources are mass-generated statistics pages or his family's own output.  WP:NOTMEMORIAL.  (Also, per WP:BDP, I'm removing the Death section, which consists only of a claim with a dead reference and an unsourced claim.) --Closeapple (talk) 06:50, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
