- If you look at what is now reference 64, you'll see all of Strasburg's pitches as tracked by PITCHf/x. His velocity is current through the 2012 season. --Jprg1966 (talk) 21:09, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

tags.- Tagged. Never done that before, so let me know if it is correct. --Jprg1966 (talk) 19:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
- I am putting this article on hold. Please address the concerns above by responding after each line. I will
strikeissues as I feel that they have been resolved.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:42, 19 November 2012 (UTC)- I have advised the nominator that unless progress is resumed this article will be failed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:53, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

- The only remaining issue is the unexplained 2 and 1/3 inning appearance. I just reminded the nominator.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:53, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- Went ahead and addressed that. Figured it was just simple minor league inning limits, but it was a rain delay instead. Wizardman 04:02, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
