I will be reviewing this (properly this time, don't worry). Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 11:46, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

References

[edit]

Lead

[edit]
  • ”his slender build limited the attention that Anderson received from college baseball recruiters” – “but his slender build limited attention from college baseball recruiters.”
  • I’d take out the second-to-last sentence of the lead. It’s accurate, of course, but there’s no point in giving 2020 two sentences worth of coverage when 2017 and 2018 just get one sentence.
  • Obviously this just happened, but mention he was released at the end of August.

Early life

[edit]

College career

[edit]
  • ”As he was smaller than many of his peers, standing at 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m) and weighing 140 pounds (64 kg), he did not receive many recruitment offers from college baseball teams, and committed to attend North Central Texas College.” – “As he was smaller than many of his peers, standing at 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m) and weighing 140 pounds (64 kg), he did not receive many recruitment offers from college baseball teams. He committed to attend North Central Texas College.”
  • Any stats on his time at the University of Oklahoma?

Minor leagues

[edit]

Arizona Diamondbacks

[edit]

Milwaukee Brewers (2016-19)

[edit]

Toronto Blue Jays (2020)

[edit]

Philadelphia Phillies (2021)

[edit]
  • ”Moore and Anderson were named to the starting rotation after injuries from Howard and Velasquez, but after a disappointing performance in his first eight starts, with a 6.96 ERA and no outs recorded past the fifth inning, the Phillies moved him to the bullpen on May 21.” “Moore and Anderson were named to the starting rotation at the beginning of the season following injuries to Howard and Velasquez. After Anderson had a disappointing performance in his first eight starts, with a 6.96 ERA and no outs recorded past the fifth inning, the Phillies moved him to the bullpen on May 21.”
  • Link designated for assignment
  • ”He was designated for assignment on August 26, 2021, once Eflin was reinserted into the rotation. He was released into free agency the following day.” – “When Eflin rejoined the rotation on August 26, Anderson was designated for assignment, drawing his release the following day.”

Pitcher profile

[edit]
  • ”This consistent pitching approach has led Anderson to give up large numbers of home runs to opposing batters.” – More needs to be said about the approach other than it was consistent. Were hitters so used to facing his pitches that they knew how to hit him?
  • ”Part of this process included watching videos of aces Max Scherzer and Nathan Eovaldi, and noting the idiosyncrasies they took to ensure that they were properly aligned with home plate before each pitch.” – “Part of this process included watching videos of aces Max Scherzer and Nathan Eovaldi. Anderson noted the idiosyncrasies they took to ensure that they were properly aligned with home plate before each pitch.”

Personal life

[edit]
  • When did he get married, and is there any information about his wife (other than her maiden name)?
  • ”Anderson is a Baptist Christian. He credits his faith to his grandmother, Annette Anderson, with whom he attended both Baptist and United Methodist churches.” – “Anderson is a Baptist. He became a Christian through the influence of his grandmother, Annette Anderson, with whom he attended both Baptist and United Methodist churches.”
  • ”Beginning in 2017” – Might be best to just put “In 2017”, especially since the players might not still be working on that in that area, now that they’re both in other places.

As usual, just a bunch of minor fixes. I didn’t really know much about Anderson, so I enjoyed learning about him from this article! Let me know when you’ve made the changes, and I’ll give the article another look! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:26, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sanfranciscogiants17 Changes addressed, with a couple of comments left. I was living in Wisconsin during his supposed career high year and was shocked when the Phils signed him, because he wasn't... great even then. (As a sidenote, if you do nominate Mays for FAC at some point soon, I'll definitely carve out time to leave comments.) — GhostRiver 23:25, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
GhostRiver See, that's the nice thing about being a Giants fan. We can sign pitchers that aren't that impressive (Ryan Vogelsong, Anthony DeSclafani), then watch them magically transform into the league's best. Well, at least you all got Wheeler last year! Anyway, article looks good now - passing! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 03:44, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
