6 years agoThe first thing that stands out when you look at Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow is that he throws gas and misses a lot of bats. It's not by coincidence he was once the Pirates top prospect; he reaches the upper-90s with his heater and struck out a whopping 10.96 hitters per nine innings in 111 2/3 frames with Pittsburgh and Tampa last year. The right-hander is still very young, too, and he won't turn 26 until August. Perhaps that's why he has struggled with his control in three seasons in the bigs (5.03 BB/9). Although you can't expect Glasnow to give you a ton of innings in his fourth season – he hasn't gone over 111 2/3 innings yet – his strikeout upside makes him one of the best late-round sleeper arms out there. His 3.47 xFIP shows that his 4.27 ERA wasn't as bad as it should've been last year, maybe if not for his high 18.3 percent HR/FB rate. If the youngster can somehow figure a way to limit his walks and stay around the zone more often, look out. He also added a slider in 2018 that could become another deadly offering to complement his changeup and curveball, if he can control it with effectiveness. The Rays are one of the better organizations for developing young pitching talent, so Glasnow is in good hands and is even more valuable in dynasty/keeper leagues. With an ADP of 165, he should definitely be on everyone's radar near the 13th round.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
