Pass/Fail:

General

I believe all uses of the word "majors" should be changed to "major leagues"

Lead

"Drafted by the Mariners in the in the fourth round of the 1981 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft," - the text in bold is a repetition
"before getting moved to the bullpen due to a loss of control." - loss of control of what?
I think the lead could be three paragraphs instead of two; how about making the new paragraph after he became unhappy with his playing time
"though he was in the minor leagues until June 30." - add that year to the end of this sentence for clarification

Early life

"Arthur Lee Guetterman was born November 22, 1958, to Arthur Adam Jr. and Ruth Guetterman.[1][2]" - the first citation can be moved to the comma because it does not mention his parents
"Arthur Lee Guetterman was born November 22, 1958," - born on November 22,
"where he was coached on the baseball team by former major league pitcher Al Worthington.[4][3]" - refs in numerical order please

First full season, use as a starter (1986–87)

"16 of his 41 appearances for Seattle" - don't start a sentence with a digit
Wikilink bullpen to the relevant article

Emerging as a relief pitcher, closing, leading the Yankees in wins (1988–90)

"because of an injury to Ron Guidry." - The LA Times said Guidry's injury was to his left elbow
"Sure enough, Righetti went on to assume the closer role" - use alternative formal wording in place of the text in bold or delete it
Wikilink go-ahead home run to the relevant article
- Home run is already linked on first mention. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 17:51, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dissatisfaction with workload, trade to the Mets (1991–92)

"then earned ones in back-to-back appearances July 1 and 4," - achieved saves in back-to-back appearances on July 1 and 4,
"As it turned out," - transpired
"in a 2016 interview." - interview with whom?
- No interviewee is shown in the video, but I don't think that's relevant here - the main point of this sentence is that in 2016, Guetterman thought New York was his favorite place that he had played. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 17:54, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Various organizations (1993–97)

"Guetterman was then unemployed for over a month before signing with the Mariners again on August 8." - more than a month
"earning the save (his only one of the season) in the victory." - earning him his sole save of the season in the victory
"when Tim Davis broke his leg." - The Spokesman-Review says it was his left leg that was broken
"Blas Minor then relieved him and retired Rex Hudler to end the inning." - subsequently
"finally getting a chance to start again." - reword this sentence slightly

Career statistics and pitching style

"Guetterman threw a curveball as well.[19][14]" - refs in numerical order please

Personal life

"due to the preaching and spiritual study he received while a Liberty student. "I made that commitment at Liberty."[19][3]" - refs in numerical order please

References

Reference 51 should mention the agency

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 15:06, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
