Tyler Glasnow made his highly anticipated Major League debut during the 2016 season. Glasnow, who is one of the top-10 prospects in all of baseball, pitched in seven games for the Pirates in 2016. This included making four starts.

In those seven outings Tyler Glasnow pitched 23 1/3 innings. In these 23 1/3 innings pitched he averaged 9.26 K/9, 5.01 BB/9, 0.77 HR/9, and he had a WHIP of 1.50. This led to Glasnow posting a 4.24 ERA, 4.26 FIP, and a 4.57 xFIP.

Tyler Glasnow’s biggest problem at the Major League level was control issues. This is something that has plagued him throughout his professional career.
