I'm impressed with the bot. I'll do a QPQ tomorrow. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:11, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

@Muboshgu: I'm so glad you wrote this article. Would you consider something more hooky for the average reader, like how the system works or the player feats it can measure? Yoninah (talk) 20:36, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look at what can be said. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:40, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I'm belatedly back after getting busy IRL. I added some records to the article, so here are some ALTs...

ALT1 ... that Major League Baseball's Statcast recorded Aroldis Chapman's fastball at 105.1 miles per hour (169.1 km/h)?
ALT2 ... that Major League Baseball's Statcast recorded Giancarlo Stanton's fastest exit velocity at 123.9 miles per hour (199.4 km/h) and longest home run distance at 504 feet (154 m)?
ALT3 ... that Major League Baseball's Statcast recorded a throw by Aaron Hicks at 105.5 miles per hour (169.8 km/h)?
ALT4 ... that Giancarlo Stanton has set multiple records in Major League Baseball's Statcast?

ALT2 is too long, isn't it? Hence, ALT4. I'm open to any rewrites. Images can be added for those players, too. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:39, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Muboshgu, ALT2 is 176 characters, under the max of 200. So it's legal as is. Since I don't know what "exit velocity" is, that limits its interest, however. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:15, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

ALT5: ... that Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton has hit the hardest batted ball, recorded at 123.9 miles per hour (199.4 km/h) by Major League Baseball's Statcast? Yoninah (talk) 10:30, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Full review needed by human reviewer. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:42, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. I have struck ALT0 as uninteresting. I think ALT5 is the best of the remaining hooks, though the others are all cited as well. The article is neutral and does not seem to have any copyright problems. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:15, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
