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.

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.
