Tyler Glasnow Shortening Delivery
6 years agoTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow is working with pitching coach Kyle Snyder to become quicker to the plate to help him remain more consistent in the strike zone and to contain the opponent's running game. The 6-foot-8 right-hander is expected to be the team's No. 3 starter in 2019. As a result, he's seen improvement in his velocity and has been hovering around 98.7 mph, according to manager Kevin Cash. "Everybody that has faced him has said that it's not a fun at-bat," Cash said. "Now it's finding that consistency. But we need to give him a little more margin of error given that he's 6-foot-7, 6-foot-8. He's filling up the zone right now." Glasnow finished off 2018 strong and will be a breakout candidate in 2019.
