@TarheelBornBred: Article is long enough and created same day as DYK nomination. Article is well-sourced, presentable, and copy-vio free. No QPQ needed. Hook-wise, I prefer ALT0, although I would edit it for contextual sake, and to better reflect the article's content:
- ALT2: ... that J. D. Arteaga, a close friend of MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez, did not foresee Rodriguez's talent?

- Your version of the hook sounds fine to me; I'm more than willing to submit the article under your revised hook. TarheelBornBred (talk) 01:53, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
Approving ALT2. All good to go, thank you TarheelBornBred! Kimikel (talk) 14:48, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Sticking my nose in while looking through the approved noms. The hook is barely about the subject, and not knowing someone else would become really talented is...in my view, not that interesting. Is there nothing else to be said that actually focuses on Arteaga? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:16, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- I understand where you're coming from. Maybe to add more context about Arteaga, the hook could become ALT 3: ...that despite being a baseball coach, J. D. Arteaga, close friend of MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez, did not foresee Rodriguez's talent? This way there is more context concering who Arteaga is and why it is more interesting that he couldn't forsee Rodriguez's talent. Furthemore, considering that Rodriguez is recognized as one of the best baseball players of all time, Arteaga being a close friend of his also is interesting.

- I don't agree with that assertion. Rodriguez being incredibly interesting doesn't confer interestingness on everyone who knew him. The ALT3 isn't better IMO because Arteaga later becoming a baseball coach doesn't have anything to do with him not foreseeing Rodriguez's talent. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:39, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

- @TarheelBornBred: @Premeditated Chaos and PMC: Just re-stumbled upon this by chance. Would something like the following work:
- ALT4: ...that thirty years after playing his first season for the Miami Hurricanes, J.D. Arteaga became the team's head coach in 2024?
- Works for me. TarheelBornBred (talk) 13:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
