$$TYLER GLASNOW - HIGH ALERT$$
Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2019 4:03 pm
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Saturday that Tyler Glasnow's velocity in his first couple bullpen sessions this spring has sat at 98.7 mph. That's over two mph faster than the 96.5 mph that Statcast clocked him at last season.
Glasnow has been working on being quicker to the plate in order to help control the running game, and in the process he's experienced a velocity bump and has also been throwing more strikes. "Everybody that has faced him has said that it's not a fun at-bat," Cash said. "Now it's finding that consistency. But we need to give him a little more margin of error given that he's 6-foot-7, 6-foot-8. He's filling up the zone right now." Glasnow was already looking like a fine breakout candidate with how he finished last season.
Gekko analysis: Folks, a massive breakout looks exactly like this. Major velocity gain reported for someone expected to breakout without an increase in velocity. This is easy to telegraph guys. Glasnow is the STRONGEST buy possible. Look to accumulate as many shares as possible at a price tag of 6th round or later. Could dip into 5th round come the big money drafts in March.
Don't get left out. ALL ABOARD
