Lead edit

  • "Moore chose to sign with them rather than attend the University of New Mexico, where he had previously committed." - think you might want to clarify Moore had originally committed to play college baseball for those wondering
  • "Moore struggled in his second season with the Giants," - struggled with his playing technique/form?
  • Wikilink bullpen to the relevant article
  • "but he had to be shut down after suffering a knee injury during his second game of the year." - what does shut down mean in this instance?

Early life edit

  • "Moore was born on June 18, 1989, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida." - birth date needs a reliable source to verify it since the Albuquerque Journal does not mention it
  • "The family moved to Edgewood," - wording is a little too close to the source material
  • Wikilink scout to the appropriate article in the second paragraph

Minor leagues edit

  • Wikilink XM Futures Game to the relevant article

Tampa Bay Rays edit

  • The extra wikilinks for shutout and New York Yankees need to be removed
  • "He recovered in time for his first major league start on September 22," - recovered from what?
  • "Moore started with the Rays in 2012 as part of a five-man starting rotation" - began and player, respectively
  • Wikilink disabled list to the relevant article only on the first mention
  • "Before being shut down for the season," - how about Before his season ended early, or something similar to make it more understandable?
    •   Done changed to "In the 10 innings that he did pitch that season" Kncny11 (shoot) 14:33, 23 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "striking out 27.1% of the batters he faced in April" - the symbol % should be spelt out per MOS:PERCENT

San Francisco Giants edit

  • "After reports emerged that Moore would be wearing No. 55 with the Giants," - the template No. should be added to the text in bold
  • "2017 proved to be the worst season of Moore's career." - The 2017 season proved to be the worst of Moore's career.

Texas Rangers edit

  • Texas Rangers doesn't need to be linked here since its already linked earlier in the main prose
  • Wikilink bullpen to the relevant article

Detroit Tigers edit

  • Detroit Tigers doesn't need to be linked here since its already linked earlier in the main prose
  • "in the hopes that he would follow Mike Fiers as a low-risk pitcher heading into a rebound season." - in anticipation
  • Wikilink bunt to the appropriate article

Pitcher profile edit

  • Baseball America and the term cutter don't need to be linked since they already are earlier in the article
  • "Early in his career, sports journalists predicted that Moore would become the Rays' ace thanks to his strong pitch repertoire and velocity." - because of his
  • Wikilink strike zone
  • "which has led to questions of pitch control" - questions by whom?
    •   Done reworded as per the article, which also cites a few pitchers that talk about how they'd never in a million years tuck their thumb like that Kncny11 (shoot) 14:39, 23 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
