BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 26% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow squared off with the Red Sox and impressed more than the box score shows. Though he allowed five runs (four earned) over 6 ⅔ innings, he fought through poor control with three straight walks in the first inning. He did not walk another hitter across the next 5 ⅔ IP, which is very encouraging.
The youngster showed poise and one bad inning against the Sox still leaves him with a 24-to-6 K-to-BB ratio over 18 ⅓ IP as a Ray. The even better thing is that Glasnow has built from throwing three innings in his first appearance with Tampa to 6 2/3 on the 18th.
He gets to face the Royals for his 25th birthday on Aug. 23, so we can hope he gives us all something to celebrate. He should be owned in all deeper leagues and his strikeout potential is very enticing.
