"He posted a 25–17 win–loss record for Duluth, where pitched 373 innings in 43 appearances and completed all 41 of his starts." Needs a reference. Therapyisgood ( talk) 22:02, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Diberoonis. Part of the August 2023 backlog.
Spot-check went well.
Infobox contains portrait and relevant information. Either cited in-line or in article body.
Lead contains only info also found in body. Relevant summary of career. No style issues, and length proportionate to article.
Early life concise. No style issues. Probably doesn't need expansion as focus is on his baseball career.
No formatting issues with references; seems consistent and does not use blacklisted sources. Usage of online and archived newspaper clippings; good and easy verifiability. Notes usage also good.

Length denotes proper focus. Subheadings good. Usage of blockquote and photo good.
Spot-check for initial section went well. Does the team Baldwin debuted with have a name? If it does, I recommend adding it.
Chicago wanted Baldwin to play in the 1886 World Series, but the St. Louis Browns, against whom Chicago played, objected, and Baldwin never played.
Could be rewritten. Suggestion: ...but the St. Louis Browns, the/an opposing team, objected, so Baldwin never played.
Your discretion.

Spot check: 19. Seems to have been moved. Other checks went well.
...Spalding's 1888–89 World Tour, in which he participated, after Baldwin...
Probably unnecessary.
Added a comma. Added a wikilink to the AA.

Spot-check: 40. has the same issue as 19. All other spot-checks went OK.
...in a showing described as "anything but credible,"...
The sudden quote feels a little awkward so perhaps rewrite the sentence or use my suggestion.
123Writer talk 20:44, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Spot-check: No bad links. Also all relevant.
...good for fifth in the NL.
What does this mean?
123Writer talk 21:01, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Spot-check good. No writing issues.
123Writer talk 21:14, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Spot-check OK.
The first paragraph contains info that happened during his career and should be placed up during that time frame to maintain chronological order. Title could be changed to: Life after baseball and death, or something along those lines.

In July 1891, Baldwin was in Philadelphia, reportedly to convince Denny Lyons and Jack Boyle to jump their contracts and join Pittsburgh. "Lyons Remains Loyal: Big Inducements Offered to the Third Baseman and Catcher Boyle to Jump Contracts". The Boston Globe. July 9, 1891. p. 4. Baldwin denied the allegation, saying there was "no truth" to it. "Baldwin Denies A Rumor". The Pittsburgh Press. July 9, 1891. p. 6. Those two lost the train [1] rumor is false Therapyisgood ( talk) 09:48, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
