Congratulations on making it to today's listing on the "Did You Know..." section of Wikipedia Main Page. The process of making it the listing takes a bit of effort and involves the quick cooperation of many editors. All involved deserve recognition, appreciation, thanks and applause.

Thanks, I figured he would be a good player to get an article rolling for, seeing as he is new to the team, a rookie, and an opening day starter. Go Phightins! 22:13, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

[edit]
  • ”farmer in Venezuela, and played” – “farmer who also played” – Since Herrera grew up in Venezuela, people will correctly assume that was where his father was.
  • ”Known for being” – “As Odubel was known for being” – The way it is right now, the sentence seems to say that Odubel’s father was known for being…

[edit]
  • ”in what should have been the” – “while representing the potential”
  • ”energy to reporters” – I’d take out “to reporters”, as this might be misread as Herrera displaying a lack of concentration and energy specifically to reporters. Maybe put “both publicly criticized” instead earlier in the sentence.
  • ”break, and he had” – “break and accumulating”
  • ”with a 31-game on-base streak, the longest such streak from the start of a season since Matthew Holliday in 2015” – “with a multi-game on-base streak, the longest to start a season since Matt Holliday reached base in his first 30 games in 2015.” Don’t put the number yet since it wasn’t a 31-game streak, it was a 45-game one.
  • ”he reached his” – “he recorded his”
  • ”Although he did reach base in the ninth inning, after the ball got past St. Louis Cardinals catcher Francisco Pena, the play was officially ruled a strikeout and did not count towards his on-base numbers.” – “Although he did reach base in the ninth inning, he did so on a dropped third strike, which did not count towards his on-base numbers.”
  • ”on-base streak in April and May” – Can take out “in April and May,” pretty obvious which one it refers to.
  • ”and after a 4-for-29 stretch” – “and after he had a 4-for-29 stretch”
  • ”Despite setting career highs with 22 home runs and 71 RBIs, Herrera's .255 batting average, .310 on-base percentage, and .730 on-base plus slugging in 597 plate appearances were a career worst.” – “Despite setting career highs with 22 home runs and 71 RBIs, Herrera also set career worsts with a .255 batting average, .310 on-base percentage, and .730 on-base plus slugging in 597 plate appearances.”

Personal life

I used to always get him and Maikel Franco, who I guess had a few good years as well, mixed up, probably because they both came up around the same time. It’ll be interesting to see if he can regain his All-Star form! Anyway, looks good as usual, just a few minor changes. Let me know when you’re done, and I’ll give the article another look!

Sanfranciscogiants17 Well, word on the street is that the Phils might re-sign Franco, since the Orioles let him go and we can't find a third baseman to save our lives, so the confusion may continue! Anyway, all changes addressed, thank you for the review! — GhostRiver 13:47, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
