I'll take on this review, as part of the July 2021 Backlog Drive.--Harper J. Cole (talk) 21:03, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

[and started playing American football in elementary] As this about an American playing in an American league, refer to the sport as football and wikilink it to American football.
- Done Changed to gridiron football with the WL — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minor leagues

[signed Bradley seventh overall] Either "selected Bradley seventh overall" or "signed Bradley after selecting him seventh overall"
- Done Changed to selected, as details of his signing are later — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[to postpone future free agency and arbitration] Perhaps link to a source explaining how arbitration works in baseball?
- Done Changed to to allow the Diamondbacks to retain his original contract for a longer period of time, as that was the central issue. — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2015-16

[allowing four runs in fewer than three innings] Here use "less", rather than "fewer", as innings can come in fractions as well as wholes.
- Done — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[Amidst heavy competition for the fifth starter] --> "Amidst heavy competition for the fifth spot in the starting rotation"
- Done — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[and set a career-high nine strikeouts] --> "and set a career-high with nine strikeouts"
- Done — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[a high batting average against from left-handed hitters] Superfluous "from".
- Done — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2017–18

[At the 2017 National League Wild Card Game] --> "In the 2017 National League Wild Card Game"
- Done — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[His difficulties in July and August] You refer to difficulties in August, but haven't really established those yet. It was implied by the line about his season turning on July 20, but could you clarify that his bad form lasted through the whole season after that?
- Done Changed to His difficulties throughout the remainder of the season were later attributed — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2019–20

[Bradley revealed to Arizona Sports 98.7 FM that that] Double word.
- Done — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Philadelphia Phillies

Wikilink "tweeted" to Twitter.
- Done — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pitcher profile

[who transitioned well from the starting rotation to the bullpen] Switch to something like "who was praised for a successful transition from the starting rotation to the bullpen", to make it clear that this is not a POV statement.
- Done — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

Nice work, not many issues. As I'm not American, there's always the possibility that a turn of phrase that looks wrong to me is actually correct usage in the US. Feel free to disregard my suggestions in those cases. I'll await your response.--Harper J. Cole (talk) 22:34, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Harper J. Cole Thank you for the review! Everything has been addressed. :) — Ghost River 15:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looking good! I'll promote to GA status. Thanks for the interesting read,--Harper J. Cole (talk) 15:24, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
