Lead

Early life

[edit]

College career

[edit]

Minor league career (2009-2013)

[edit]

Atlanta Braves (2013-2014)

[edit]
  • ”against the San Diego Padres, the most of any Braves pitcher in his debut, but the Braves went on to lose the game 4–3.” – “against the San Diego Padres. Though this was the most of any Braves pitcher in his debut, the Braves went on to lose the game 4–3.”
  • ”was when Venable batted against Ross Ohlendorf of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals” – “were two instances when Venable batted against Ross Ohlendorf” – That way, people won’t read this and accidentally think Ohlendorf was with two teams at once.
  • ”in relief for the Braves' 2–1 loss” – “in relief during the Braves’ 2-1 loss”
  • ”named as the” – “named the”
  • ”fourth starter, as part of a five-man” – “fourth starter in a five-man”
  • It doesn’t look like Hale was actually the closer. He finished 13 games but never recorded a save. Maybe switch this to the total number of relief appearances he made.

Colorado Rockies (2015)

[edit]

Minor league journeyman (2016–2018)

[edit]

Hanwha Eagles (2018)

[edit]
  • No corrections here, just wanted to commend you on finding so much information about his time in Korea. This stuff is often a pain in the neck to find!

New York Yankees (2019-2020)

[edit]
  • ”He started with” – “He started the season with” and you already make clear later on that he started as a starter.
  • ”designated Hale for assignment to make room on the postseason roster for Aaron Hicks and CC Sabathia” – “designated Hale for assignment when Aaron Hicks and CC Sabathia were added to the postseason roster” Since Hale wasn’t designated for assignment to make room for both of them. Or, you could see if you can find a source that makes clear whether Hicks or Sabathia was coming off the 60-day DL (the one you’ve got now doesn’t say).

Philadelphia Phillies (2020–present)

[edit]

Pitching style

[edit]
  • ”When signing him to the Phillies, manager Joe Girardi referred to Hale as” – “When the Phillies signed Hale, manager Joe Girardi referred to him as”
  • I would take out the last sentence. If Hale stays with the team a while, this could change, and it’s probably not going to be worth that much of a mention as his career continues to progress.
