Zach Eflin: "[Knapp is] prepared for everything coming his way."

“We go way back to double A. Sometimes, I feel like he knows me better than myself,” Eflin said. “... I know he’s going to make the most of every single opportunity that’s given to him. He’s an amazing person and deserves to catch every day so I’m excited for him to get playing time and get into a rhythm. During the year, he’ll go four or five days without seeing live pitching. That’s a tough job. For him to get consistent reps in spring training is huge for him. He has to continue to show what he can do and we all have the utmost confidence in him."

“Going back to double A, he was the best hitter I had ever seen in pro ball,” Eflin said. “He was lights out in double A and that was consistency and being able to see pitches every day. Everybody knows his offense can be there. A great thing about Knappy is he cares a lot more about the pitch calling and defensive catching than he does hitting. I’m not saying he doesn’t care about hitting, but his main goal is to be a catcher that pitchers trust. He’s absolutely rocked that leadership role but we’re all excited to see him swing the bat because we know what he can be.”

Review

• This is a rough review, will be adding on

Early life

• Knapp was born in Roseville, California. He attended Granite Bay High School in Granite Bay, California can be combined into one sentence: Knapp was born in Roseville, California and attended Granite Bay High School in Granite Bay, California.
  • Please add more information about his family (such as his mother inspired his pitching) and move it to early life
    • Here are some more sources: [1]
• I will re-review this section after the additions are made

@HickoryOughtShirt?4: Thanks for taking on this review. I think I have caught up to all of your comments here. Ready for more whenever you are. Go Phightins! 16:14, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Go Phightins!, thanks for the quick response! Please excuse my lack of baseball knowledge as I continue the review. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Not a worry at all. Do feel free to flag any jargon that seems out of place. Ideally, the article should be accessible to all readers, and at minimum sports fans such as yourself (at least if your userpage is any indication ). Go Phightins! 16:20, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

AHHHH, we edit conflicted and I lost my review!!! My fault for not saving it.

• SBNation isn't reliable, please replace it
• Ref #18 needs publisher
• Please move ref #7 to He signed with the Phillies for a $1,033,100 signing bonus
• Found some refs to expand his rookie season [3] (all listed here)
• Please make sure all the dates in refs are uniformed (they should either be 9-11-20 or September 11, 2020)

@HickoryOughtShirt?4: I believe I handled all of these too. Thanks for snagging some of those newspaper clips. A few were already in the article (Philadelphia Daily News and Philadelphia Inquirer were published by same parent company, so sometimes the same article appears in slightly different forms), but I added a couple too.

Go Phightins!, it's been a pleasure working with you. Passing this article now. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 01:43, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks very much. Likewise! Go Phightins! 02:01, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

• article became a GA on 10 April, in decent condition, I like the first hook (it checks out) more than the second hook (it also checks out). QPQ is validated, this is good to go. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:41, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
