WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES |
| Glasnow is a projectability pick. Baseball America did not have him rated among the top 105 prospects in southern California. He grew rapidly in high school, eight inches after his freshman year. His velocity also increased rapidly, eventually to the upper 80s to low 90s, reaching as high as 93. He also throws a slider, curve and change. He’s considered a good athlete, so the Pirates are no doubt hoping he could break out once he grows into his body. He had a college commitment to the University of Portland, but signed an over-slot deal at the beginning of August. He didn’t get into any action. The Pirates likely will send him to State College in 2012. |
