Glasnow, a key member of the Tampa Bay Rays' starting rotation, has been impressive on the mound thus far in his career, boasting a 3.48 ERA and striking out over 11 batters per nine innings pitched. His ability to induce ground balls at an alarming rate makes him a formidable opponent for any team.
