nominating for WP:ONEVENT. only gets coverage for his unique baseball ability. having such an ability is in itself not enough to establish notability. WP:CRYSTAL regarding future success as well. LibStar (talk) 05:08, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: I could go either way on this one. I can see that there is only one event that this individual is known for, but his story has been covered by extensively, including by national sources, such as ESPN (via AP), The New York Times (via AP), and Fox News. Regardless, the article could use a little bit of cleanup and better writing if the decision is to keep it. --Sgt. R.K. Blue (talk) 06:28, 15 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Per WP:ONEEVENT and WP:ATH.  He is only recieved news covereage because he can pitch a little faster than kids his own age and his parents refused to move him to a more advanced league.  The claim he will be drafted first in 2018 fails WP:CRYSTAL.  Movementarian (Talk) 09:47, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The article does not claim he will be drafted in 2018. Instead, it claims that sources predict he will be drafted, which is a legitimate thing to report.  If only it were true.  The reference for this statement doesn't support it, so I've removed it from the article. Matchups 10:39, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like I misread that. Thanks.  Movementarian (Talk) 11:31, 15 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. The kid is not notable.  There are a lot of alleged grown-ups acting like jerks; let's move this material to an article on the league. Matchups 10:39, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, oneevent, we can revisit in a few years. -- Nuujinn (talk) 21:47, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
