Hi, I'll be reviewing this article. Sports is not an area I am super familiar with, but I will do my best. I can probably have this done within 24 hours or so. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:36, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
Overall, mostly well written. A few minor points raised that need to be addressed. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
References look good, primarily to newspapers and reliable sports publications like ESPN. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
I do not see any issues in this area. Provides broad coverage and doesn't get bogged down in excessive detail anywhere. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
All three images are appropriately licensed. Interestingly, File:Ronald Torreyes (44216774812).jpg is currently listed on Flickr as All Rights Reserved, but the archived version from when it was originally uploaded to Commons [1] was cc-by-sa-2.0, so no issue here.

All images and captions are relevant and appropriate for the topic. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:45, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Pass or Fail:
I am placing the review on hold until a few minor points are clarified, then I will promote this article to GA. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
All comments have been addressed, I am passing this article. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 00:41, 7 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
"Free agent" can be wikilinked in the first sentence, for the benefit of those unfamiliar with baseball.
Done.
The article seems to somewhat abruptly jump from age 7 to Torreyes being signed by the MLB. Is there any information that can be added here to reduce the gap?
It's difficult to find information on the childhoods of international players, because they tend not to get the "hometown interviews" that American and Canadian players do, but I added another sentence from the MLB.com article.
"On December 23, 2011, the Reds traded Torreyes, Travis Wood, and Dave Sappelt to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for..." Chicago Cubs can be wikilinked here.
Done and removed the WL further down. AWB issue.
"He was the second-youngest man on the roster, older only than Luis Severino," How old was Torreyes at this time?
