6 years agoTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow was named the American League Pitcher of the Month on Thursday. Is anyone surprised? The 25-year-old is 5-0 and holds a 1.75 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with 38 strikeouts in 36 innings. It’s important to note that three of his six starts were against Boston (two) and Houston (once). There’s no doubt that he’s the pitching sleeper of this year's drafts so far and is rewarding owners accordingly. The only long-term concern here may be an innings limit, however, if the Rays remain atop the AL East, it will be hard to scale him back significantly. There’s no shame in jumping on the bandwagon late and buying high. He’s that good. He’ll get the Orioles in Baltimore next in a plus matchup.--Zach Alexander
