Article's references check out, no copyvio, length is good, image is acceptable, hook is 161 characters. The only negative is that the hook is pretty luke-warm. Is there nothing more notable about this player? How about adding the fact that he's just joined the majors after 3 years in the minors? —
313:
This is my first ever participation in the DYK process. As a reader of the
Knowledge main page, I also think the website hook is more interesting. That prompts curiosity about the player and draws me into reading the article. --
297:
Personally I think this website is much more interesting. Being in the minors for three years before making the majors is pretty standard. There may be a better way to write the hook that I'm not thinking of.
512:
Oh duh, you're right. The whole point is that it's a professional player helping other professional players, and I left that out of all the hooks! Well, if
Bagumba is Gandalf, I guess that makes you Obi Wan.

Suggested fact is backed by an inline citation that has been verified. I strongly suggest adding that
Claiborne is a professional player or else it seems like an article about a random sports writer:
537:
88:
353:
calls him "one of the site's most prolific contributors." The article and hook should spruce up that he does more than just merely "contribute".—
36:
414:
Should attribute the source if using a direct quote. Alternatively, paraphrase "most prolific". I'll propose a couple more ALT hooks.—

Bagumba, as always, proves himself to be wise beyond his years (assuming of course
Bagumba is male and not Gandalf). –
333:
That or something about his dad telling him to play like a Yankee, and his coincidentally becoming a Yankee. –
