Oh, the sound of a baseball hitting the gloves is “just like music”. That’s what the majority of Los Angeles Dodgers fans are saying currently. After months of waiting, they’re finally getting a glimpse of the superteam that the management has created. While the fans lost their minds after seeing Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching, it was just the beginning. Now a video of Tyler Glasnow has rocked the world.
While a little overshadowed by Shohei Ohtani and Yamamoto’s deals, Glasnow’s entry into the Blue Crew was just as important. Not only was it a homecoming for him, but it further strengthened the notion that the Dodgers were going for the big one. While the team is preparing hard, the fans are already in dreamland.

Watching the players slowly getting back into shape is an interesting experience. It’s an inspiring tale, but then to watch someone just start at the top level? That’s what dreams are made of. Now that the Dodgers squad is entering their Spring Training home, more videos are emerging of their practice. This time they’ve released the first-ever pitches of Tyler Glasnow in the Dodgers. And unsurprisingly, it’s stellar stuff.

In this 27-second clip, it’s visible that Glasnow is entering into the Spring Training in tremendous shape. With tremendous fastballs and sliders, the pitcher looks ready for new challenges that the Blue Crew will present to him. One can also see the evolution of the changes that Glasnow made to his pitching last season.
Ever since his Tommy John surgery in 2021, Glasnow has gradually increased his power. While earlier his sliders were closer to his four-seam in pace, he has slowly increased its pace. This certainly helped in 2023 when the ace struck out 162 hitters in 120 innings. The video has hints of Glasnow gaining even more stability in those pitches.

“Never been more back,” declared the Dodgers fans
The video has sent the Dodgers fans into a frenzy. While they knew that Glasnow would be good, this clip confirmed their belief. As a result, the X post was filled with praise. Like this fan’s belief in Glasnow is so strong that he has already bought his jersey.
