Non-notable minor league player, fails WP:NBASE. Minor league players can be notable but need to demonstrate a level of notability beyond routine coverage. There's lots of routine coverage sourced in the article that you see of minor league players, game reports and prospect reports, and there's lots of hits of mentions claiming he pitched in various minor league games, but I don't think any coverage of him rises beyond routine game reports/prospect reports. He did play in a couple early games of the College World Series which was reported nationally, but I could only find match report coverage of those as well.

Delete per nom - I agree with all the points Sporting made. This page can be recreated if he ever makes the majors, as he has played in 4 seasons in the Triple-AAA level. Until then, coverage of him seems routine for a minor league player and doesn’t warrant a page. RolledOut34 // (talk) // (cont) 23:36, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete lacks the kind of sourcing that would establish notability under either GNG or NBASE with existing coverage mostly routine for baseball players. Barkeep49 (talk) 01:21, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
