Afd in 2007 closed as "keep" under logic we would not accept now. Tagged for notability since 2013. Subject has not played professionally since 2014, so is unlikely to restart his career. Fails WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage and WP:BASE/N as he did not make the major leagues or win any major awards that would qualify him. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:42, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to List of San Diego Padres first-round draft picks. I feel first round picks should at least have a re-direct to the associated page as there is always info on them there. But yes he doesnt need his own page at this point. Spanneraol (talk) 18:55, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:NCOLLATH #3. As a two-time collegiate All-American, he "gained national media attention as an individual". He was also a member of USA Baseball national team and winning pitcher in the International University Sports Federation gold medal game.--TM 17:59, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * In the past college baseball all-american honors were not considered worthy of a keep on their own.. they don't get "national media attention" and he didnt play in any notable top level tournaments with the national team. Spanneraol (talk) 22:52, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Where is that written into policy? I've definitely seen many articles kept because of their All-American status. Spanneraol, you voted to keep an article on a player with similar profile in a discussion in which we both participated.--TM 23:28, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Who do you think selects the All-American teams? The national media. That obviously indicates attention from the national media. That seems to be very clearly the intent of the policy as well.--TM 14:17, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * here is the relevant discussion on the subject. The other article you mention was kept based on sources not on his all-american status. College baseball doesnt get much coverage from the national media in general and a list of all-americans is not indepth coverage.Spanneraol (talk) 15:29, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * You are pointing to a six year old discussion that did not come to a consensus and had fewer than 10 participants. That's not policy.--TM 16:26, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
