Former MLB All-Star Has Interesting Description for Dodgers New Starting Pitcher

In fact, former MLB All-Star pitcher Jake Peavy agrees. When speaking about Glasnow on the MLB Network, he had this to say (courtesy of the clip above): 

"You know what, he is an ace, absolutely. I want to see it happen too badly Steve, because I love Tyler Glasnow. When you go get around this kid, he's tall, he's built like a Greek god. When you watch these bullpen sessions of what he's able to do, manipulate the baseball."

-- Jake Peavy on Tyler Glasnow

Glasnow famously towers over the bump with a 6'8" frame. His over-the-top motion only adds to the depth he gets when pounding the ball on hitters with sudden movement. 

Routinely in the mid-to-upper 90s on his fastball -- with the capabilities of touching 100 -- Glasnow's repertoire is even more impressive when looking at the spin rate and tilt he accrues on virtually all of his off-speed pitches. 

Receiving this compliment from Peavy is nothing to scoff at. Arguably among the most competitive pitchers of his generation, Peavy was a multi-time All-Star and 2007 Cy Young Award winner over a decorated career with the Padres, Giants, Red Sox and White Sox.
