Draft:Dylan Farley

Submission declined on 29 July 2025 by Aydoh8 (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Dylan Farley has pitched in the Hoofdklasse and for the Dutch national team. He is the son of Brian Farley. [1]

He debuted with the Hoofddorp Pioniers in 2019, allowing three runs in 1/3 of an inning at age 18. He was 0-1 with a 9.20 ERA in the 2021 Hoofdklasse and also appeared for Odessa College that year. [2] Transferring to Mineral Area College for the '22 collegiate season, he was 2-1 with a 2.40 ERA and 18 K in 15 IP for the Pioniers in 2022, showing good strides. He was 0-1 despite a 1.40 ERA in the 2022 U-23 Baseball World Cup, losing a duel to South Korea. [3]

Farley was originally on the Dutch roster for the 2023 World Baseball Classic but was replaced by Arij Fransen when he wasn't in good enough shape. [4] He allowed four walks and two runs in one inning for the Amsterdam Pirates in 2023 but they won the 2023 Holland Series. He was 3-2 with a 6.69 ERA for Nicholls State in 2024 and 0-1 with a 2.31 ERA for the 2024 Amsterdam Pirates. He was 1-0 with a 1.00 ERA in the 2024 U-23 Baseball World Cup, beating Taiwan's Li-Chen Wu. [5] In the 2024 Premier 12, he made one appearance, relieving Eric Mendez in the 5th with a 5-2 deficit against Team USA, with one on and two out. He whiffed Ryan Ward to end the inning. In the 6th, he walked Carson Williams but retired Justin Williams. Colby Thomas singled but both Williams and Thomas were out on the bases on the play. The 7th was rough as he walked Drake Baldwin, allowed a Termarr Johnson single and walked Chandler Simpson. Scott Prins relieved and let all three runners in, saddling Farley with a 20.25 ERA. [6]

The lefty transferred to Delta State for 2025
