Reciprocating QPQ for "Hey Stephen". I do not follow baseball so pardon if I question anything obvious. Best, Ippantekina (talk) 06:55, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Prose concerns

• Lede is well written and informative overall, but I have one very minor question: Werth's great-grandfather, grandfather, and stepfather were baseball players; doesn't this make him a fourth-generation, not third-generation, player? Ippantekina (talk) 08:58, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Because it was his stepfather and uncle, as opposed to his biological father, he's technically only third-generation per the powers that be; I've clarified in the lede. — GhostRiver 18:37, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• Despite being 38 years old at the start of the 2017 MLB season, Werth remained an everyday outfielder for the Nationals Is/Was there an age limit for being an outfielder?
  • No official age limit on any position, but some start to go sooner than others; outfielders and first basemen have a decently longer career timeline than pitchers and catchers, actually. It's the starting every day at 38 that was more unusual; even 35-year-old Andrew McCutchen this past season would usually be replaced in the last couple innings just to keep him from aggravating some old injuries. I've rephrased to make it sound less like he was avoiding some order from above. — GhostRiver 18:37, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Verdict

• It is always pretty daunting to review long articles, especially biographies! The article is well written and informative, with appropriate uses of images and web sources. Just two nitpick-y comments, and this article is ready to go. Ippantekina (talk) 02:10, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Ippantekina Everything has been addressed, thank you! I remember cheering Werth during the World Series years and booing him when he left the Phillies, so this was a fun article to work on. — GhostRiver 18:37, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

• Very well. I'm passing this GAN. Great work and congratulations! Ippantekina (talk) 07:28, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
