Indianapolis Coaches Agree: Tyler Glasnow Creates Uncomfortable At-Bats

INDIANAPOLIS - Three Indianapolis coaches all had a similar evaluation of Tyler Glasnow: opponents won’t feel comfortable at the plate.

Manager Dean Treanor, pitching coach Stan Kyles, and hitting coach Butch Wynegar have watched every inning Glasnow has thrown this season for the Triple-A Indians.

They all state the obvious, Glasnow has good stuff. But a myriad of factors - height, delivery, and pitch command - make him an uncomfortable at-bat for opponents. Glasnow has some deception with his aggressive delivery and has great arm speed on his pitches, Treanor said.

“So when he goes to his changeup or breaking ball, they have to be ready for the fastball,” Treanor said.
