Keep With a little bit more targeted searching, I found some more articles, like
this Seattle Times piece on his graduation from Police Academy, and these Honolulu Star-Bulletin pieces
[1][2][3], which combined with the existing articles cited, I think puts it over the mark as "significant coverage" over time from multiple publications.
Yankees10, let me know if this changes your mind, or if it doesn't. –

Delete.. This guy is an unexceptional ex-baseball player who never played in the Majors. Hawaii sources are of the standard "local boy gets drafted" variety that you get about almost every minor league player.. and the Seattle report is simply a human interest story... these don't rise to the level for me to say this run of the mill ballplayer is worthy of an article.

Delete Agree with Spanneraol's comment above. As I've said many times in these AfDs, if this sort of coverage is enough to pass GNG, then literally every U.S.-born player in Minor League Baseball has enough media coverage to pass GNG. -

Keep - Enough coverage to meet
WP:GNG. Most minor league players do not get this much coverage, especially covering a multitude of aspects of his career (and retirement). 00:39, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
Delete - The one-pitch-strikeout material is pretty great, and added to coverage for sure, but it does not make for notability - certainly not
WP:NBASEBALL. A mini-bio (as suggested at NBASEBALL) is all we should expect. --

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Delete – per Spanneraol's argument. Fails
WP:GNG as a career (now former) minor leaguer who never made it to the Majors, and any news coverage of him is merely on a local level, not of national country-wide importance. —
